That was supposed to say "Thought"...I came across this little bit of info and thought I would share it here since we all look for ways to make it though.

Site of interest for those calculating calories burned
I came across this site http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc and found that walking 3mph there was calculating 90 calories burned, not the 79 that MFP shows. So far this site has been working great, so just in case you want to double check something that is NOT listed on MFP, this site has pretty much everything.

Question about calories for things not listed
I see a lot of people listing calories burned for such and such. How do you get that number when there isn't a listing in MFP database for a particular exercise? I would like to add some things I am doing, but there isn't a listing for it so I can't. Any help is greatly appreciated!
