Hi! I just noticed a little hiccup? in the walking log...

For a random time of 10 minutes of walking it gives me:

40 calories burned for a 2.5 mph pace
44 calories burned for a 3.0 mph pace
51 calories burned for a 3.5 mph pace
And...
232 calories burned for a 4.0 mph pace (if only this was true... sigh :sad: :happy: )

Please let me know if you get this also. If so, I'll let the moderators know. Thanks!

P.S. I know the numbers will be slightly different based on gender, weight, etc. I'm just wondering if you're getting the calorie jump on the 4.0 mph pace. Again, thanks!

    Use an HRM and you can ignore all of the totally inaccurate MFP calorie burn estimations.
    kind regards,

    Thanks all!

    benol1, thanks, I know you're right, but I'm asking for all the HRM non users. :smile: I tend to underestimate the exercise calories and overestimate the food calories on here which has worked pretty good for me so far.

    trin8ty75, thanks, now I will have a guesstimation of what to put in.

    :happy:
