I'm starting a new graveyard shift job, so I'll need to alter some things.

At the job, I'll be walking up and down stairs, and around a warehouse for ten hours, which according to MFP, burns around 2,000 calories. This happens Wed-Sat, not including the manual overtime. My MFP daily value is at 1,200 calories.

What should I do, or how should I alter my values to get the right amount of calories for my exercise?

    I don't count my job calories burned. It gives me an extra safety net.

    Change your daily activity rate under your personal settings and MFP will do the rest - if you feel your basic activity level will increase - why not : )

    what she said. I am constantly moving at work but I don't consider them as they are hard to count and typically apart of my normal day routine anyway.

    I'm a server and I don't count my work as a workout. I think I put myself at moderately active on here.
