what extra bits and pieces dont you log

Walking or biking to school to pick up the kids---about 1 mile round trip. Housework, laundry, gardening, walking up and down stairs.

Maybe they add up, but I don't think it adds up to more than my mis-estimates about the leanness of my cut of pork.

I don't log any activity outside of dedicated workouts, because I do have a certain amount of movement daily and I call that normal. I also don't log calories in a stick of sugar free gum or the calories in a vitamin chew. If I cant afford to put 10 calories past my lips without obsessing, Ive got issues. I do log all calories, no matter how small it may seem, if in a meal or part of a recipe(ie spices and low cal add ins) if Im cooking at home. Things like chewing gum are rare for me anyways.

I rarely log any exercise. I try to log all my food, but coffee. I use very little creamer, and it's just my 'thing' that I have and don't count.

I don't believe in cars, so I rely on public transportation and my feet to get around. Bare minimum, I walk 3 miles each day just to do what I need. Weekends it can be closer to 10. I have my setting at lightly active and don't log any of my transportation. However, if I run all the way to work or home (5 miles) I log that because it's beyond the normal exercise. Although maybe I'd be more successful if on those days I subtracted out the calories I would have burned anyway from my walk to the train. Of course if I kept my settings the same and stopped eating cookies, I'd probably be more successful too.

I only log actual workouts. Walking and cleaning etc I never log. With walking to/from work and walking my dog I probably walk on average 2 hours per day. I don't it as exercise, just part of my every day activity.

I don't log things like spices or black coffee

I usually don't log anything I do at work (I'm a nanny). I walk 1-2 miles with the kid at least twice a week, we do yogakids videos, I go to gymnastics with her and do everything she does (except monkey bars and forward rolls), we have playtimes that include her sitting on my shoulders while I do squats or lunges, or on my hips while I do bridges, or lifts where I end up holding her above my head and taking a lap around the living room (while she wears a cape, naturally). I get a small amount of strength training in, and keep her endlessly amused, but it doesn't seem like working out at all because it's more for the sake of keeping her entertained than actually working out.

I also don't log the bites I take of her food as we eat, not because they don't count, but because logging 1 tsp applesauce, 3 peas, 1/16th of an ounce of chicken dipped in >1/4 tsp ranch is kind of silly, tedious, and time consuming. Maybe not logging those things messes with total intake for the day, but I want to make sure everything tastes good and isn't too hot, and the kid likes to feed me a bite of her food before she eats it. And honestly, logging every single, tiny bite seems too difficult for me, and I want something sustainable so as long as this keeps working I'm down.

Since Im still new to this website I did add in any cleaning around the house if I wasnt doing any extra walking or cardio for that day. Just to get an idea of what I did or didnt burn that day. I dont log in the 10 or more plus times a day I walk up and down the stairs in my house { just dont know how to calculate that it besides for an option of going up the stairs}. My biggest wondering is what do they consider light to moderate cleaning compared to moderate to heavy cleaning. Yes i do realize cleaning dishes and wiping down the counters and table is considered light, but when does it cross over to moderate to heavy cleaning. Like today Im hanging up and folding laundry is that considered heavy compared to just doing the laundry?

I walk between 3-4 miles per day and do my ab wheel (50 reps) every night but don't log either of them. I also don't log coffee or my water intake. I can tell when I am not drinking enough water because I have been for so long that I am very in tune with the signs my body gives me when it's thirsty (headache, dry/chapped lips, etc.).

I don't log anything as exercise unless it's actual exercise (e.g. cleaning, walking to/from work). For food, I don't log all my iced tea (0 calories) and I usually don't log spices, salt, pepper or gum.

I only log cleaning if it's a full house clean (1 or more hours), otherwise I leave it. I also walk 1-2 miles each day just getting around - don't log that.
I also don't log coffee - I have it black (no sugar) so it's only 4-5 calories anyway. Squash I will also not log for the same reason.
I also won't log vegetables properly - I just normally put in salad even though the ingredients I use are different - I've tried logging it all properly but the values are pretty much the same whatever you switch in/out so I don't care :P

As a few others mentioned, I also don't log anything I don't specifically do as exercise. Even if it's pretty strenuous, I usually don't log it. My reasoning is that this will help counter any underestimation in my intake calories.

if i walk for more than 10 minutes continuously i'll log it if not i don't. i occasionally have sweets and nuts throughout the day that i don't log so it evens out ygm?
