Hi,

I’d like to ensure that I’m maximizing my walking and I’ve read that counting of my steps per minute helps to do this. Does MyFitnessPal provide this level of detail?

    Not steps per minute, but you can find exercise entries for miles/kilometers per hour. Problem with steps per minute is twofold:

    …two people with different length legs, walking the same speed, have vastly different steps per minute but equal calorie burn, and

    …you can artificially increase your steps-per-minute rate by taking smaller steps, but that doesn't change your calorie burn
