question about calories burned

Do you calculate the calories you burn at work into your exercise calories? I stand all day and am constantly moving.(i am a chef). I recently joined zumba and am wondering if I am getting my numbers rite. My epilepsy has been acting up as well as my sugar dropping. According to my fitness diary I burn around 900+ at work, but i never included that in my fitness diary. with zumba thats another 500 calories gone. I am taking in around 11-1200 a day but again never counted my work calories into my net calories.

I don't think you are supposed to count the calories you burn during the day at work but some plans do factor it when trying to determine how many calories you should be eating.

I use caloriecount.com and they asked how active my lifestyle is.

Kudos to you for going to Zumba after working such a physical job all day!! :)

No. Your daily caloric burn based on lifestyle are factored in when you know your rmr and then it is by a factor to get your avg. Even with basic exercise trying to compensate for calories burned can be tricky unless you are doing massive training sessions that are hours in length and burning thousands of calories.

Ultimatly you need to find what works for you and what is comfortable got your body.
