STEPS VS GOAL BURNED CALS

I was wondering if this sounds normal to anyone else: some days I will exceed my step goal by double or more, but still not hit or only be close to hitting the daily goal for calories burned - and this is with a 5 mile run!

    I usually reach my step goal way before I hit my calories burned goal. And some days I meet my calories burned goal and have relatively few steps. It depends on what your step and calorie goals are. Also, not all movement is going to burn the same amount of calories.

    I don't pay much attention to steps with my BMF.

    That sounds odd unless maybe your calories burned vs steps goals are unbalanced. I aim for 15,000 steps per day (all walking), and this leaves me burning around 2,500+ calories per day. Now if you have a goal of 10,000 steps but 2,500+ calories burned, I can see why you might not be hitting your goals. So, maybe you need to adjust the balance between the two.
