S health (samsung app)

Hi.

I have had the app active on my phone for a few months now but only noticed i could update my profile a few days ago. Before that i was walking 6.6 miles and burning off about 450 calories but since i updated the profile (weight etc) i am doing the same journey and that burns 824 calories. Take today just under 10 miles and it says i have burned off 1386. Not understand the app fully i was wondering is this correct?

Thank you for your help in advance :)

    Counting steps is very inaccurate for measuring distance. So you might as well Ingnore that and just go by the actual number of steps you walk. The amount of calories burned will depend on your weight so by updating it should make it more accurate.
