logging dishes as excersize

[tlchouse]

Can I log doing dishes for 45 minutes as excersize? I have a fitbit charge.

Welcome to the forums @tlchouse! You can certainly log washing dishes and other home activities through a Custom Manual Log. If you are unsure of its caloric burn, please see this guide from CalorieLab for house activities.

 Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

This below information is great, however when I co to enter my activity as washing dishes it wont accept that.  It gives me a list I can choose from only.  I tried entering the time and calories without the activity bit it wont let me do that either.  

Sorry I am so new to this whold thing

Thank you for your response @tlchouse! In this case, you'll need to create a Custom Log for non workout activities. Please see @GisselleM's guide to help you create a Custom Log. 

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions

I figured it out, thanks for the help. 

I had to log into the computer to do it not the app on my phone 🙂
