When I want to enter my walk I can choose either 10.5 or 12.5 Min/km. I am always closer to 11.5 and don't know which choice to make. There must be a way to change or add times?

    For steady state walking/running, consider getting a calorie estimate from this calculator, with the energy box set to "net".

    https://exrx.net/Calculators/WalkRunMETs

    That will tend to be lower, but more accurate, than the MFP database estimate. You can either create a personal custom exercise (I did that) or just pick the closest MFP speed and override the calorie estimate with your own estimate.
