Striiv.. calories?

Options
How do you calculate your calories burned in mfp or do you just go by what striiv says? I never added all the "little" things I did around the house unless I did it for x amount of time straight. The striiv adds right to mfp but the calories are alot compared to when I exercise for 20 minutes or more. Now, striiv is addinglike 395 calories when I feel like it's only 100 or so. Not eating all those cals back either.

I like the app and it makes me walk more, just curious on everyone's thoughts are.
Thanks

    I like the striiv app but its telling me today I burned 751 calories today when it was just my usual up and down walking around office. Granted, it's a big office, but 751 calories for 4352 steps seems like a whole lot!

    It seems like it adds all the calories you used throughout the day. The problem is, even if you set your MFP to sedentary, some if those would already have been counted. May be wrong though.
