Why such few calories on mfp when all I do, is stay active?

I've done over 2 miles today, and mfp is saying I burnt 77 calories. Really??? I was bustin my butt, and walking 3.5-4 at all times.

    Two miles is barely getting you out of sedentary. The activity level you have set already accounts for so much movement in the day, so if you have a higher level set then you'll get a smaller, and possibly negative, adjustment.

    I'd look at the activity level you have set on mfp. If you say you are active, it already has an allowance for activity built in and you have you have to burn a set number of calories before it credits you with more
