IYou don't need a smart watch even. A fitbit or literally any equivalent step tracker from any company you don't despise would approximate it well.

There's no good way to calculate calories burned by how much lifting X amount of pallets that weighs Y, but step trackers are good for approximating how active you are over the course of many hours. An office worker might do 3000 steps or less, someone like you might do 15000.

According to a quick Google, in an hour of constant walking at a moderate pace, you'd get to about 6000 steps. If I never stopped in 9 hours, that's 54k.

At 15k steps and my weight, that alone would burn 800 calories and doesn't include weight added from bulk boxes of produce or while pushing a cart that may weigh several hundred pounds. Based on the chart I referenced every 20 lbs of body weight adds on average about 10 calories burned per 1000 steps.

I'm fairly certain I walk more than 20k steps daily while also being in constant motion even when standing still. Adding in the grocery CrossFit, I going to estimate I'm burning at least 1300 calories on some days, not all. Today, I only ate 500 calories between waking up and getting home from work. I should see if my phone can be a step counter since it's in my back pocket 99% of the time I'm working.
