Curious about a missing physical activity

winstonh · August 2011

My wife and I just joined and tried to input our "intimate activity" but there's nothing in the database. Will this be corrected and if not, how is this measured? Thanks and I don't want to offend or anything, I'm just curious. Thanks!

It's not in there. Trying Googling it, other sites do have input for stuff like that so you can always input it there and use the calorie burn it gives you. That's what I did.

Wear an HRM and track it that way.

Literally just Google "sexual activity calorie counter" and you'll get them

I used to use FitDay so that's a good program too.

Whether you're being serious or not I'll answer seriously.

Uhh anything that's part of my daily life (or even several times a week) that I did BEFORE I lost the weight doesn't get counted, IE cleaning the house, vacuuming, sex, doing dishes etc. Even with life style set at sedentary it's just not something that you need to/should worry about counting

Do you seriously want that coming up on your news feed?

Everyone's asked.

May not be a bad idea for when I get older...important to keep my HR in 'the zone', cannot get too worked up (heart attack). lol :-)

That makes perfect sense, thanks!

log it as pushups.....lol

I only say wear one because there isn't just one answer. Some days I want to be lazy in bed and others I'm very active.

If you're that curious and want it to be accurate, "sexy" has nothing to do with it. Besides, tracking sex calories is like tracking the calories you burn when you sleep, thus why it's not in the database.

Thanks all for your input. I was just curious as there's been a couple articles I've read that mention it. Thanks again.

I wondered that when I started as well. This about sums it up:
