I got a game for Christmas for a Nintendo DS, called My weight loss coach. It came witha pedometer, I was wondering if there is anyway to convert the steps into calories so I can enter it on here as well.

    The amount of calories burned doesn't necessarily translate to the number of steps taken. It depends on speed at which the steps are taken and the amount of time spent doing the activity.

    Agreed. The most accurate way to know how many calories burned is to invest in a HRM. Or you can go to the exercise database and enter in how long you walked/ran and it will estimate how many calories burned. But like previously mentioned steps taken does not directly covert to calories burned. Calories burned is based on your weight, your height, your heart, activity level, time spent exercising, impact, effort, etc. Good luck!!!!
