Here's a question I've been trying to figure out. In the course of my job I spend a large proportion of my workday lifting bags of varying weights (1 lb to 50 lbs) and pushing cages of heavy bags. I'd like to be able to record an exercise value for this activity to get a better sense of calories expended, but I'm at a loss how to arrive at a decent figure. To this point I've not recorded anything. Any thoughts on how to arrive at an appropriate value? Or is it too difficult to track?

    It's already tracked in your TDEE/ Activity level setting. I would lean toward it being unwise to double track it.

    Thanks for the input. I'm still a bit hazy how MFP calculated the figures, so it's good to know!
