So i need help. I use the pacer app and i also have a polar heart rate monitor that i use when i work out because im ocd with knowing how many calories im burning. Today i went on a run with using my heart rate monitor and my pacer app was on. My HR monitor said i burned 484 calories and when i went to input that into MFP my pacer added on 730 calories. Which on would be correct? Please help.

You didn't say how long you were running, but I would be inclined to go with the HRM.0

I have a polar T4 and I got a shock when i compared it to what the machines at the gym where telling me i had burned, I use the HRM reading as it has more info about me in it and I thought it was "too" easy to burn as many as the gym was saying lol0
