So this may not be a revelation to some people but it sure was to me!I used to have the myfitnesspall app set to "moderately active" allowing me 1600 kcal a day + any extra activity counted by my fitbit during the day. After a while i learned if i did over 10k steps in a day it would add extra to myfitnesspal output. Now I always thought those 1600kcal were kind of much but that aside, i also couldn't help but think, okay but what about days im less active? when nothing was added to the +? Those days my 1600 kcal were probably even too much no?So I experimented, I wear a fitbit so I linked fitnesspal and fitbit and changed my activity level to sedentary (jikes only 1200 kcal a day anymore) but as expected, the amount of steps needed for it to add to my +foractivity was way lower.So it went from this

Now the amount of steps aren't the same so the remaining isn't same (15k today vs 19k sunday) but im sure if i did 19k steps today it would've landed me at about the same kcal so the end result remains the same but this allows it to just be a tad bit more accurate! Since I have a chronic illness I have some days I can barely get out of bed so for me this is a way better method to track my real calorie output. I hope this can be helpful to some people (You can also see sunday he added only 420 kcal for exercise while today i got added 777 kcal for exercise)
