    If you know roughly how many calories you are burning with a device like a heart rate monitor or activity tracker, you can override the calories burned field by tapping directly on it and then put in your information. You can also add a new exercise yourself, just go to "cardiovascular" and then "create new exercise." Your estimate will be added to your personal database, and not the main database.

    If you don't want to use a heart rate monitor or similar device, you can make a rough estimate. This won't be as accurate as an activity tracker. To do this, you can try substituting another exercise already in our database.

    If you are interested in an activity tracker, you may want to look into our third party integrations. Several of our integrations offer solutions for monitoring your calorie burn over the course of the day and can update your MyFitnessPal calorie goals based on this data.

    ​Alternatively, we have also recently added a new "Workout Routines" feature (only available in English for now) that allows you to build an entire gym routine from a large database of both strength and cardiovascular exercises. Users wanting to add a new multi-part exercise may want to try adding a Workout Routine instead of creating a separate exercise.
