Hi, I think that the current way to count calories has a few problems:
1) setting the met is not very intuitive, at least it wasn't for me;
2) more problematicly this setting is per sport and not per session so
it's not a reliable way to compute calories (I can run at very different
speed).
I propose to solve both problems using a different formula that will be
used only if someone doesn't specify the met value for a sport.
You can see an example for the "Run", I used a formula taken from
http://www.albanesi.it/english/sport/running_energy_expenditure.htm, the
same could be done for the bike and other activity.
What do you think?
