My pedometer on my phone tells me that I’ve walked 12000 steps (8km) yet mfp only gives me around 120 extra calories. When running only 5 km at the gym I’ve burnt 400 calories so which one is right? And why is it so low on mfp?
Thanks
Thanks

I wouldn't go off what the treadmill says as this will be incorrect. Did you enter your weight etc into the machine?0
