@UpDownAround: Please do not take this the wrong way, but are you trying to lose more weight? This is your choice, but I am a little concerned about you.

7778 steps. Today I walked fast for two miles with a break along the way. I then walked back for the additional two miles at a much slower pace since my knee started hurting a little bit. However, it is still OK. I need to learn how to power walk properly.

I am going by the new baseline of 2200 calories. My watch once again is overestimating the calories burned. However, I ran my stats by a couple of calculators on the Internet, and the amounts from my watch apoears to not be too far off. These calcuiators consider also heart rate and VO2max, which is a measure of fitness. So I am reducing the stated calories burned by lets say 25%. Then over time I will adjust accordingly. For lengthy exercise, this approach can actually make a difference.

So I have walked about four miles, burning 478 calories. I am using 213 total calories for on the last two easy miles. I calculated this by using a MET value (metabolic equivalent) for the speed I was going. You take the MET value, multiply by your weight in kilograms, this yields how many calories you are burning in one hour. This can be accurate. My watch at this type of leasure pace is way off. This together with 2200 calories provides 2678 calories that I need to consume. I have consumed an amazing 2537 calories. Now this is a realistic shortfall to push forward to tomorrow. BTW MFP once again is adding phantom exercises to my diary. How does it make this up?

PS The MET value for SUP, depending on the intensity, is 6. For me this is 474 caloeries per hour. This is like running 4 mph, or possibly more for you, like 5 mph, a MET of 8. For you, with a MET of 6, would be about 420 calories per hour.
