Snort! NOPE, we don't have them here in America!
Again, I would consider this already accounted for in my activity level. You asked the question and aren't liking the answer that the majority of the people on this board are going to provide. You will find people here that log cooking and cleaning as well, I'm sure they'll be along soon.
you realize I am an American right? I only said that because of the comments that it's counted in my activity level... I am WAY more active at a concert than I would be most other days.
Also, I don't log things I do every day like cooking and cleaning. but I suppose a lot of you would say I shouldn't have logged helping my boyfriend move even though I know I burned over 1000 calories doing so.
I guess the thing I'm really concerned about is that for a 3+ hour concert full of jumping and dancing I'm afraid that I'm not going to eat ENOUGH. But at the same time I don't want to over eat in an attempt to avoid under eating. I know one day wont throw me off, but as @sllrunner said I try to be as accurate as possible which is why I'm just looking for some ballpark numbers.
so i repeat...eat a day at maintenance level!!!!!!!!!!

So why ask if you decided what to do?
log it have fun move on.
... I thought it was pretty obvious form the beginning that I plan for it to be cardio... what I'm asking is HOW MUCH.0 -

Nahhhh.....that's way overestimated.

Okay, I'm curious. Why did you post this question when clearly your mind is already made up?

depends on how high you jump for how long and before 9PM or after?

LOL.....oh no you don't, you're not using my comment about striving for accuracy to backup your plan to log something that is obviously not to be logged as exercise. Why? Because that is inaccurate, and there is not way to get accuracy anyway.
If you just eat at maintenance instead of a deficit, you will be just fine.

Just because you think it's exercise, doesn't mean it is. Just because you're tired, doesn't mean you burned extra calories. Stand all day at work and you will feel tired, but you didn't burn enough calories to count. Chop veggies, and cook for hours, same thing.
Just go, enjoy the concert, and don't worry about how many calories to log. Trust me, your body doesn't care what you enter into MFP, your body calculates your burns without any help from your brain.0 -

I'm not looking for specifics. I'm looking for ballpark. I said that from the beginning. I realize that there is NO WAY I can be exact about this... I'm looking at eating at maintenance... is there a formula for that?0 -

Technically, no it's not considered exercise it's considered non-exercise but the difference is often a matter of interpretation e.g. an athlete wouldn't considered a game exercise under this definition, as far as I know, because it's part of their normal activity. If you want to count it as dancing ok, but I would lower the actual time since you aren't going to be jumping around the whole time.
I would be very conservative with logging since we have a lot of people here who log a lot of things as extra activities but then complain they can't lose.

Please don't twist what I'm saying. I've stated several times that I realize I can't be accurate, I was just acknowledging that I LIKE to be accurate... Ballpark numbers is a representation of that...0 -
I don't know if any of you have ever been to a rock concert, but it generally involves a lot of jumping... which I would consider exercise
70 kg * 9.8m/s^2*.5m /.25 in kcal
The .25 represents an assumption that a human jump is 25% efficient.
This gives 0.32791587 kilocalories (dietary calories are actually KILOcalories in proper metric units). So just multiple your number of jumps by about .32, there you go, rough estimate of your calorie burn.
Feel free to replace with your own values for mass and jump height that you feel is more appropriate, but that 9.8m/s^2 is firm.
Damn that Law of Gravity stuff!

Nope, didn't look, as it's irrelevant to the question.0 -

Last time I checked dancing and jumping both qualify as exercise... just because I'm doing it at a concert venue instead of at the gym doesn't mean it's not exercise.0 -

Are you using a Fitbit? Wear the Fitbit and let that handle the adjustment.
Otherwise, the answer is 42.
