Ok, so i know the basics on adding calories, exercise and activity level (yes, even based on steps). and i don't often actually count calories, so it's rather academic anyhow...

however, i see the fitbit calorie adjustments and was wondering if there was a way to get the same effect using a pedometer app such as runtastic?

reason being, that part time i am a volunteer dog walker, and the other half of my life i am a graphic designer. some days more this, others more that. i could just take an average reading over a week and adjust my activity level, but if i could find a brainiac solution to adjusting it daily without spending money on an actual fitbit (haha, i'd get so much other stuff first) that might be fun :tongue:

there was the thought of setting my calorie goal to BMR and then just using whatever runtastic spit out. but even just after an hour today, i can tell those calories are way inflated.

thanks
