How do I enter this exercise to my daily data:

I walk on the treadmill 5 miles a day, with incline, 5 days a week. I know exactly how many calories I burn.
When I'm trying to add it to my daily exercise, it does not recognize it and does not let me enter it
.
Is there a way I can enter my specific exercise ?

I appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance.

    Can you program your treadmill to count calories? or do u have a HR watch? Then you can just manually enter calories burned to treadmill w/incline

    You can create your own exercises.

    When you walk on a treadmill using an incline, you are doing the equivalent to "Walking, 3.5 mph, uphill." I would choose that walking entry and just ignore the 3.5 mph part, enter the number of minutes, then overwrite the estimated Calories that MFP provides with the Calories you got directly from the treadmill output.

    What incline are you at? I've been having a lot of luck of giving myself 100 calories for every mile I run or walk.

    I just create my own exercises and enter the calories burned from my HR monitor. So, I do walk/run intervals on the treadmill at different speeds and inclines. I created an exercise called run/walk intervals and I then just put in the time I completed and the calories from my HR monitor. It's there in my list of exercises the next time I need it.
