Hey there fitness pals! I was wondering if anyone is in the same boat...I serve tables, and those shifts are long are tiring...but I wouldn't exactly call it exercise (ie, my body needs to go to a gym and sweat). but on the exercise meter here I'll input say, walking 3.0 mph--eg, pace walking dog at about 6 hours (I worked a double shifts so I was at work for over 12 hours) and I have a hard believing I can eat more than 2200 calories...does anyone else find that with a job like waitressing you can technically eat more but gain weight if you do?

    If you set your activity level as active, then it would take that into account, that's what that is for. It will rate you out at a higher base caloric burn for your daily BMR.
