Five hours at a friend's farm, steady work with no breaks, doing this: Killing 9 turkeys ( sitting on them, cutting their throats, draining the blood; best to do that while the heart is still pumping), wrestling 20 to 25 lbs. of turkey carcass over a washtub full of boiling water to dip the bird, which means lifting it out a couple of times to reposition it; sitting on a chair with the turkey on a stump, plucking; standing at a table to cut off the head and legs and gut the bird, then standing at an outdoor sink to wash it inside and out; then bagging the carcass for sale. I have no idea how many calories that took, but my arms are aching today. Anyone have any ballpark idea?

    #1, you're a monster.

    #2, that doesn't sound like exercise, it sounds more like something you'd count as normal activity.

    Maybe a note on the exercise tab and count it as a bonus? If you really want to eat those calories back I guess I'd just log it as 100 calories or so...

    Don't. It's just a slightly more active day, it won't really count as that many more calories overall.

    surely that just mean you had a slightly more active day at work? therefore is not actually exercise

    im not sure dipping a dead turkey in a barrel of water equals weight lifting lol

    ETA meat comes frome the supermarker right? lol
