So on this app i've did 1189 steps & it says i've burned like 18 calories on LifeSum it says i've done 1189 steps but i've burned 59 calories? Any thoughts? is there a way to manually calculate this?

    when i wanna know my calorie burn for walking, i calculate based on time walking rather than actual steps taken.

    The calorie adjustment will depend... On your stats and your activity level. That's here at MFP at least. For the other app, it would depend on how/what they are tracking.

    Don't bother unless you're deliberately going for a walk...in which case, use your mileage, not steps.
