I consumed about 2100 calories. I walked 10186 steps for my exersize today burning up 419 calories. This calculates to 24 steps per calorie. Highest heart rate was 134. I did not push myself that hard this time. Still a cardio workout for good parts of my walk. So this leaves me a deficit of 469 calories to my goal of 2150 a day, determined by my activity tracker. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning.

UpDownAround: We will figure out an accurate enough steps per calorie. If it was to be very accurate, we would have to consider the effort placed into different parts of the walk. This is not practical. My monitor does attempt to do this by breaking up in minutes different activity levels during the walk. However, I do not think I can calculate the steps per calorie at each activity level using this information. I do not know if it uses pace, or heart beat rate, or a combination of the two to calculate calories burned. I think it is the latter, but not sure.

Edit: I just realized that the calculation of effort may require an accurate BMI. However, I specified 90 pounds as my weight in order to get the steps per calorie to 24.

Oh yes, I will have drank at least 39 oz of water by the end of the day. I need to keep this value up, particularly when I exersize. I do live in a desert.
