Activity and calories burned

Mfp has given me 38 calories for walking 18000 steps ? Does this sound accurate ?

Do you have an Apple Watch? I've found I don't get the proper credit for my steps. I just check the Activity App on my phone to see what I've burned for the day.

Maybe. Depends on how you've got your profile setup, specifically your activity level setting.

Absolutely not, 18,000 steps would equate to a much higher calorie count.

Not necessarily, not the way MFP works.

No way to know without knowing what your lifestyle is like. 2200 cals per day is probably pretty low for a construction worker.

I earned about 1k calories from mfp for 17k steps but I was set to sedentary what activity level are you set at the higher the level the more activity you have to do before adjustments kick in

Thanks!

No - that could be pretty close. What's your height, weight and age?

If I get 12k steps, my total burn is around 2000. I'm 5 feet tall, 133 pounds.
