I've been using Runtastics pedometer to help me keep a track of the cardio I've been doing. I had the app linked to MFP but I noticed there was a big difference between the calories burned using Runtastic & MFP when you input the the info required for the exercise completed. For example today I went for a walk, according to Runtastic, it was 25mins & 37sec, 1.06miles at a pace of 2.49mph & I burned 151 calories. According to MFP I burned 102 calories at a pace of 2.0mph(MFP only lets you input whole numbers) for the same workout. Has any else experienced this or can provide some advice as to which info I should go off of?

    I just went in to enter it as if I had done it under exercise you click cardiovascular then browse all and scroll down to the bottom where there is walking and 2.5 is an option and gives you 150 calories so very close.
