How many cals do you burn on a work day?

Just curious if there are any other labourers out there and how much do you burn on a work day?

I typically burn anywhere from 3.5k to 4.7k cals and do 15k-32k steps (according to fitbit charge 4).

I do a little bit of housework on workdays but no exercise.

I wear my fitbit on my ankle, then I know I earned every step...

Waouh, 3500 to 4700 kcals is a lot of calories burned. Hope you have nutritious meals to replace all that energie spend.

At work I burned closed to nothing, but that would be because I seat in an office all day long.

that is a lot of calories to burn, but your step count is so high, it makes sense. I sit while working so without intentional activity I burn nothing. I usually will get some miles in during lunch if I can. I can eat while working, I can't workout.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community forums, @Longboard

 

My job requires me to be sitting for most of the day, and I can't walk too much because of back pain, so I usually reach 8k to 10k steps per day and burn around 2k calories, but I weight 63.5 Kg, so I think it's pretty good. I'm only looking to maintain my weight. 😀
