it says that an hour of leisurely walking is 357 calories. i dont see how this is plausible i only walked to the grocery store, picked out my items, then walked back home. can someone explain this to me???

    The calories burned are over-estimated on MFP. Onl;y way you could truly tell would be with a HRM, that's why a lot of people say to only eat back half your exercise calories.

    I wouldn't count a normal activity like that as exercise in any case unless you've set your activity level to sedentary.

    In this case, it's accurate.
