When you enter exercise does it automatically take into account your weight. I guess, I would think that a 300 lb person would burn more calories than a 125 lb person doing a certain exercise. Maybe I'm off, just wanted to know.

    If you enter it from the database on MFP, no. However, there are free calorie calculators on the web that do take into account weight. Just google search it.

    If you search in the execise database it does take into account your weight, then when you go to add the exercise in Track Exercise it gives the same number of calories burnt, so it must do. xx

    Lady, that is exactly what I was going to post. The calories are really close, so I think that it does take into account your weight. Thanks so much for your replies!
