When you track your workout and log it into the MyFitnessPal app do you enter your Active Calories or the Total Calories burned during your workout?

    Ok I put Active Calories in since that is when your Heart-rate is elevated and your burning calories during said exercise. Total is calories your burning plus calories the body burns just from everyday functions. HTH

    Active calories only. Total calories includes an element of calories which you would have burnt anyway during that period just for existing. This is already built into your daily calorie goal by MFP so if you add this element in again, you are over counting those calories.
