    I guess you would find a table on the internet giving typical burns for certain weights. Maybe look for one that factors in speed or distance covered.

    Distance covered in miles X weight moved X .3 = approximate net caloric burn (no online calculator is exact)

    Adjust from what baseline?

    It seems you can only do this on the Web version, not the mobile apps.

    On the Web version, navigate to EXERCISE > Database.
    Search for walking and choose the entry for the closest speed.
    Enter your current weight and minutes walked, then note the number of estimated Calories burned.
    Enter total of your current weight plus additional weight, then note the higher number of estimated Calories burned.
    Since you can not enter exercises directly to your Diary from the above page, navigate to EXERCISE > Exercise Diary.
    Add the number of minutes for appropriate entry for the closest speed, which will be for your current weight.
    Change the number of estimated Calories burned that you just entered to the higher number of estimated Calories as noted in the above.

    And then divide by two, because the MFP numbers double count BMR.
