Calories Burnt

Yes, it would be a correction MFP could easily make. I put in their suggestion thread.

If tracker account synced, any workouts logged include calorie estimate with BMR level burn since replacement will happen on tracker side.
If no tracker involved, remove the already accounted for daily burn rate for that time and only include calorie estimate with the net to that.

The 50% is bad overkill assumption though too. Considering how many assume sedentary activity level already when they really aren't. assume avg 2000 non-exercise TDEE / 24 hrs = 83 an hour.

Obviously the effect is worse for low-level calorie burn things done for long time (like walking).

But you'd have to walk really slow for only burning 160 cal/hr - for 150 lb person 1.6 mph, to cause a doubling effect.
