For example, my base calories are 1,599. And each meal is under 500, with 150 for snacks. When I add workouts, my calorie goal changes to…

I've combined walking, cycling, rowing and stretching for a total between 45 mins to 1.5 hours per day. I felt great but I feel like I'm hitting a bit of a wall energy wise and also nodding off in the evening. I would…

Accuracy of MPF’s Calories for Steps
Hi everyone, I’ve returned to MFP after quite a long time away. I remember last time reading a forum post which recommended NOT syncing MFP with steps, on the basis that it overestimates how many additional calories you can eat after exercise. I have MFP set up for weight loss, and connected to my iPhone to track steps.…

Do you run slow? Then you might be doing it right!
I know some people eschew running because of its impact on the body, especially knees and hips. I have friends that tell me I shouldn't do it because I will inevitably get injured. To be honest, I got out of the habit at some point and will get back into it. I have never been a fast runner. Well, my last two or three years…

Exercise Calculations
Help! Last week, I turned on the negative calorie adjustment. Since then, my exercise calories are all over the board. For example, last week on one day I ran 2.5 miles and later that day, walked approx 3 miles. MFP logged my whole exercise category as -446. The overly negative tracking happened for about 5 days in a row.…

Calorie counter for exercise seems half
Why does the calorie counter for walking seem to only give you half credit for calories? If I walk 23,000 steps in a day I’m only credited with about 330 calories. That seems to half of what it should be for walking 10 miles. The numbers are similar for 5,000 or 17,000 steps. It always seems low by 50%.
