10k steps without even trying?
It's my day off work. I went out of the house to get car fixed and go shopping. I walked 1.2 miles while car was getting fixed according to google maps but, that only accounts for like 2k steps. Can just day to day activity add up to 10k steps?

Calculating Calories in Slow Cooker?
Making Carnitas in a slow cooker tommorow. Seeing how any water that may evaporate will be self contained does that mean the yield size will be the sum of the parts? I don't think my slow cooker is small enough to weigh empty on the scale.

Can I trust Garmin adjustments?
I just linked up my vivofit 2 today. I was just wandering around town on my day off and apparently covered 4 miles or so and was awarded like 190 extra calories.

Supplements?

Sources for verified foods?
Is there a way to see the source for a food marked verified? For example I had 2 chicago style hotdogs at portillos this afternoon. 1 entry was for 375 or so that wasn't verified and another was for 300 that was.

Yet another sedentary or lightly active question
So I work at a local grocery store bagging groceries. I work between 3 and 5 days a week between 4 and 6 hour shifts mostly. On those shifts I usually push shopping carts between 4-6 at a time for at least an hour. On days that I work 8pm-midnight like the last 4 days I do half hour on my recumbent bike at level 6 out of…

How accurate is the MFP database when looking up local stuff?
For example picked this up today http://imgur.com/LwE9H3i and had 250 calories or so left in my budget for the day. MFP gave me an entry from waitrose when i scanned the barcode but, of an awefully similar product for about 140 calories. Does that seem accurate? It's just that some other entries put me over for the day by…
