We did so much walking on our trip that I thought jumping back on the elliptical would be a cake walk....WRONG! I did the same work out I did before we left and I had…

Accurate Number of Calories used in exercise?
Last night I rode my stationary bike for 18 minutes (I'm just starting out). The bike counts the number of calories I burn, and it said 63. When I go to enter it on MFP as "Stationary bike, very low effort" it says 122. I know MFP factors in weight, and my bike doesn't. So which one is accurate?
