Something is wrong in the exercise cardiovascular calories burned. For example, it is saying that 25 minutes of low impact aerobics burns 1444 calories. Can anybody fix it?

    You could over-ride it, but you'd need to know how many calories you've actually burned. I agree that it's probably not 1444. Perhaps you could try a different entry? "Aerobics, general" gives a number that is much more reasonable.

    There are a couple of possibilities.
    Are you sure your weight is entered correctly? There were entries in there before that have hugely inflated values but they did for everyone (they have since been fixed). When I tried the aerobics entry I got a reasonable estimate.

    Or
    The site has also been buggy today so that may be it.

    You can email MFP to let them know. They will get around to fixing it eventually.
