10,000 steps only burns 90 calories???
Hello! So I synced my step counter with this app and after my usual walk I noticed it said I only burned 90 cals after 10,000 steps. This doesn’t seem right to me. I walk briskly. My height is 5’8 and I weigh 130 lbs if that affects it. Not trying to lose weight I use this app for monitoring nutrition, I just find this odd.

Net calories/eating back exercise calories
Hey guys! I was going over the weekly data on MFP and noticed my weekly net calories were only around 600. That seems awfully low. Granted, the app I use to track my workouts tends to overestimate calorie burn (ex. 20 mile bike ride at 10mph burns 900 cals - I doubt it) however I am concerned that I am under fuelling for…

Calorie confusion
Hello! I find myself struggling with knowing how many calories I should be eating. When doing online calorie calculators I have a difficult time knowing what my general activity level is (just what the heck does “moderately active” mean???) my fitness goals have been oriented towards building muscle. Before coronavirus I…

MFP sync with pacer app - calorie burn
Hello! I synced my pacer app with MFP and it logged my 1hr 30 min bike ride + 14,000 steps as 1015 calories burned for the day, which to me seems like a lot. How accurate are these apps at tracking calories burned? For what it’s worth, I am a 5’7 120lb female, and MFP is set to “lightly active.” I’ve been struggling with…
