Hi all just wondering some of the things you have done that you have been surprised how many calories you have burnt doing an activity . I ask as i was just shocked at my calorie burn of 1020 calories digging over the vegetable patch in preperation for the upcoming season this took place over about 2 hours..:drinker:

    That is a lot of calories! Were you wearing a HRM or were the calories burned from MFP?

    I know with some of the activities I do, MFP seems to over-calculate calories burned.

    Either way, good job!!
