So this morning I went snowshoeing for 40 minutes. I found snowshoeing in the database which is great, but I also had my daughter in the backpack while I went. I normally enter "carrying infant or 15lbs" when I walk with her. She actually weighs close to 30lbs.
What should I do? Enter both for 40 minutes each or just one? If I had done just one I would enter just one, but technically I did both....so that's where I'm leaning. What do you think?

Play around with the exercise tool and figure out the difference between the two exercises and then add the difference manually. Adding both would be overestimating the calories burned as both account for the walking part of the exercise.0

I would enter just one ....probably just the snowshoeing one...and consider the other extra bonus0

I agree. I read somewhere that we under estimate our daily calories and over estimate or exercise burned.0

Thanks everyone!0
