I just walked for 30 minutes (1.5 miles, for a pace of 3.0 mph), pushing my daughter in her stroller. When i logged "pushing stroller" it said i burned 114 calories
When I logged "walking, 3.0 mph" it said i burned 150 calories.
Why is pushing a stroller supposedly less of a calorie burn than walking in general? is there a way to find out how much I actually burned?

I have wondered that myself but i havent found a real answer to this question. I think to get an accurate calorie burn is to buy a calorie counter and also if u have an ipod it has a calorie counter. good luck0

I did a lot of searching and found something that says a study of several mothers between 19-41 showed that their calorie burn inncreased 18-20% walking between 3.0 and 3.5 mph normally and walking with a stroller weighing around 35 lbs.0
