25815 steps, 11.54 miles and 1047 calories according to my watch. Logged as 180 minutes of 3 mph walking for 713 calories.
2272 calories consumed out of 2413 alloted, leaving 141, which seems like a reasonable margin for error. I think the grapes we have are bigger than average and my count is likely off. And I am still not sure I trust exercise calories. Going to see how it goes on Tuesday if I try to get close again tomorrow.

For 11.54 miles, this is about 1154 calories using the 100 calories per mile rule of thumb. For me this would be 1208 calories. Your watch is calculating at 91 calories a mile, with mine at 105 calories a mile. However, you are in much better shape than I am. You have been exersizing much longer than I have. I would not be surprised if the actual value for you is closer to the 80 number you came up with.
I walk between 3 mph, and if pushing myself, close to 4.2 mph. Is this what you do? I am not walking up any hills, yet. I am thinking that these parameters that describe my situation and the rate I burn calories as a consequence may be helpful to you. Of course you have a different BMI than I do, probably also a different BMR.
