Steps and workout calories
My husband and I are both using fitness pal. We have noticed that if we don’t workout, fitness pal credits us calories for steps from our iPhones. However, if we do workout, we get calorie credit for our workout, but lose the calories for our steps. Shouldn’t we get calories for both the workout and the steps?
