Incorrect Calorie estimate when manually logging swimming

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I've got a second hand blaze from my mum - all appears to be working fine, except when I manually add swimming, the calorie estimate is incredibly low (when compared with other info). For a 30 minute swim at a moderate pace, it estimates 94 calories burnt, whilst a 30 'general breaststroke' in My Fitness Pal states I've burnt 257, which seems way more accurate when I look at other info on the internet too... Frankly, I could burn 94 calories walking for 30 mins, so I don't understand why it's saying that. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

@Louwest1 Welcome! It's great to see you around! Sorry to hear that your swim calories are too low on your account. Check your personal information (weight, height, age, etc.) as this is used to calculate your caloric burn. Also if you manually log your swim activities you should be able to enter the calories for it so you can avoid this issue.

 

Let me know how it goes!
