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.

I would go with the HRM especially if it is set up with your stats.0

The HR monitor is a more accurate way to measure calories burned. With apps and other things, the amount is based on statistics, not real world people, and is often off by quite a bit.0
