Trying to Understand What Running + Steps means with Calories

RunHardMoose

Hello!

This topic has been brought up before. I've read several people try and explain. However, I haven't seen a response that I completely understand. Here is my issue:

I have 2450 Calories/day
Today I ran 36m and used MapMyFitness. This run was imported and added 803 Calories to my total allowed for today.

- This I understand so far. Here is what I don't understand

UA Record is tracking my steps and logged 5000+ steps during my run. It now shows in my exercise as Under Armor Calorie adjustment of 479 calories for those steps.

So the total adjustment to my daily calorie goal is 1282!

-Is this correct? I feel like it is a double count if it is being transferred from MapMyFitness as a run for 803 calories but also measuring the number of steps at 479.

I took a screenshot if that helps. Thanks in advance.

...and by 36m obviously I meant 36 minutes not 36 miles.

Click the little “ i “ next to your Under Armor Adjustment

It should show you the math.
