in Fitness and Exercise
Hi,
I have been shopping (mainly browsing in cute outdoor shopping centers) a lot lately with friends because of summer sales and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to estimate the calories burnt as it is not a typical form of exercise to log

Today I shopped for 3 hours and my step tracker says I walked 2.46 miles

I am female
5'3
110lb


Thank you!

    What kind of step tracker are you using? A lot of them sync with MFP and will automatically give you calorie adjustments. Click on Apps to see if yours is listed.

    I wish I had one that synced with MFP but I don't walk enough to justify spending the money for one that will, I use a free health app on my phone instead. Thank you for your advice, though!

    I wouldn't log it. You were probably walking to slowly to really burn any real calories, so just take the small burn as a bonus to your cal deficit.

    If you're using your iPhone to track your steps, you can sync that with MFP, in 'more' then go into steps and pick iPhone. It might backlog what you already did, if not start tracking from now.

    If it doesn't backlog, I wouldn't track it, just take it as a bonus!
