Hi.. I'm wondring. When i walk 60minutes every day and then i add it to my diary it says 60=599 calories burned l. But when i see another app like google fit it says somtimes 250 burned calories like this. What is the differenece between these apps or what's happening!

A lot of times MFP overestimates the amount of calories burned which is why I like using my Polar HRM for exercises like stead state cardio.

You will find dozens of different estimates for calories burned. They depend on your body size, the pace you walked, the terrain (uphill). It is generally believed that most estimates are high and you would do better searching google for a calorie estimator that you can personalize to your own actual data.
MFP tends to be on the high side so be careful if you plan to eat those calories back.

I find the longer I run the farther off my treadmill is from the reading I get on my fitbit. I follow fitbit charge hr
