My iphone counts my steps a day but i brisk walk for about 30 min a day is it giving me double credits for my calories. I dont want to feel that i have extra earned calories when i dont.

    I do a lot of walking as well, so I set my goals to sedentary, lose 0.5 lb weekly, let the iPhone count my action, and eat back all my calories it gives me (or close to it) plus at least half of what I earn from my actual workout. :) If you carry your phone while you run or workout though, I wouldn't eat much of the steps calories back, because the number can go up by being shaken around. At that point you'd be getting double credit. Don't wanna cheat yourself. :) If you want you can add me, and good luck!!
