You could record it in the exercise notes section.
If you want to add back the calories, divide your steps by 2000 and then multiply by 100. Except that you have to subtract out the number of steps already covered by your activity level. That's tricky. I know that with my FitBit, I start accumulating calories after about 1500 steps, and I have my activity level set at sedentary.0 -
Hi:
There are some calculators about step to calorie burned. here is a link

Do not eat back 100% of the burned calories, the calories burned may be overstated at any theoretical calculation

If you want this information for calories to eat back, be careful. Steps from general activity during the day - walking around at work, running errands, etc. - should be accounted for in your activity level. For calories from deliberate exercise like going out for a 30-minute walk, just log the walk rather than the step count.You could record it in the exercise notes section.

I'm not sure where this calculation came from or if it is reasonable to use, but an easier way to do this math is just divide your steps by 20.0 -

Why not just divide by 20?0 -
