how do I properly use mapmyrun??

I've been using map my run to keep track of time and distance, I recently discovered that I can sync it with mfp but it's showing as 0 calories burned. Is there somewhere on mapmyrun where I can enter my weight and age and stuff so that it will also include calories burned??? I"ve searched all over and can't find anything. Do I have to have the paid version to do it??

also are there any other cool things that mapmyrun can do that I don't know about. and what's the difference between mapmyrun, mapmywalk, and mapmyride??? Just wondering why there are multiple different apps.

Do you use an IPhone? If so, click on the more, then choose Profile, which will take you to where you can enter your personal stats. If you are on an Android system, it should be similar.

The apps are basically all the same, only the user interface is different for each version.

I just checked the website and my weight info is already entered, I just don't know why it's not calculating calories, I was hoping that it could automatically enter my workouts into mfp, it enters it but just as 0 calories

We use Mapmywalk, but I assume the apps are similar. In Mapmywalk I had to tell it, under "connect applications" to connect to MyFitnessPal(maybe gave it username). Then shortly after clicking complete in the Mapmywalk app the data shows up in MyFitnessPal. Good luck.

Have you connected MFP and MapMyWalk through the menus? On IPhone on MMW tap More -> Connect apps and Devices, then select MyFitnessPal.

I synced them, is that the same?? It's showing up in mfp, just not giving any of the data
