I went into the help screens and read the FAQ and lo and behold they have a
note that it is Wrong, and to log it as regular walking until they get it
fixed....

Ok, one for you gurus ... if there even is an explanation. And if there
is,
please give it to me in terms I can understand. g

I'm using the diet program Lesanne has spoken about and noticed what I
think is a
*quirk* ... maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I don't have a clue. But since
this is
automatically calculated based on my weight and height along with the
info
I add
(miles/time), I'm making an assumption that there must be some kind of a
difference in these activities. So here goes ... I work out on the
treadmill,
which is a speed factored activity (so this program tells me). This
program says
that someone my weight and height will burn 0.0874 calories/minute if
walking at
roughly 4MPH. BUT ... if going for a non speed factored brisk walk at
4MPH (15
miles per minute) it says I will burn at a rate of 0.03174/minute. Can
anyone
explain to me why the difference rate of caloric expenditure between the
two
activities? Or is it solely because on a treadmill it is a constant,
automated
speed?

I am sooooooooooo confused! g
