Does anyone know if heavier people burn more calories when walking etc. because we are carrying more weight around?

Yes, we do. MFP factors your weight in when calculating your exercise calories burned, as do most fitness sites that have exercise calorie calculators.
Also, if you enter your weight on a cardio machine the calorie burn will be much more accurate than the standard one that displays when you don't enter your weight.
Hope this helps0 -
yes that answers my question perfectly ...thank you0

good answer! AND good question! I do notice that I burn more calories than friends for the same exercise......I always figured that was why. I think I probably burn more calories just getting out of bed than a skinny girl would!
I guess that is why our allowance is higher.0
