I see. That would be the more practical way in accounting for calories burned through the day. I will at the same time see if those extra calories added up from walking during the day aside from exersize has any relevance, and if so, to what degree. I think this can be used as a qualitative, not quantitative, measure of how active I was on a particular day. Time will tell.
PS I have made a trail mix of 1/3 sliced almonds, 1/3 of M&M-like chocolate candy, and raisins. I think I added too much raisins. But there is allot of calories there eating this mix.
