Default question

well to day it was raining so i worked out to a walk away the pounds tape
was the super high cal burn 3 mile one. this took me 60 min to do and and i would say it was at least at 5mph. was really a great work out. so i went to list my activities on fit day and it says that i only burned 231 cals at 4.5 they did not have a choice for 5mph then i went and checked on 3fc and it says 498 at 4.5 mph. why the difference in the 2. but was a good work out i almost felt my but get smaller...lol

Everyone's body (and metabolism) are different. That being said those calculators are averages (I'm not sure why fitday/3FC are so different in their numbers.) Your body may be burning more, it may be burning less.

If you did the super-high-burn 3 mile tape, and it took 60 minutes, doesn't that mean you walked 3 miles per hour?

At your size, you probably burn about 90 calories a mile walking or approximately 110 when running. I'm confused about the 3 miles vs 5 miles thing, too ... but if you covered 3 miles, I'd call it approximately 300 calories or if 5 miles, then about 500, give or take a bit.
