How do I figure out my calories and time using a step tracker? Also how many steps are in a mile?

    If it's not one that you can sync with MFP, you would probably be better off using the MFP activity level based on how many steps you take in a day.

    Measure off 20 feet. Walk it with your normal walking stride and count the steps. Multiply x264 to get the steps per mile. It is a bit different for everyone based on their stride length. Mine is a little over 2000 steps per mile.

    If there is a track near you, just take a few laps, Most tracks are 1/4 mile do a mile and check your steps.
