So I started doing 2 2 mile elliptical rules daily, one at 6 am and the other at 11 am. The machine reads about 370 calories burned, but does not take into account my weight/age, mfp lists 700 calories. Which should I follow?

    neither. get a good heart rate monitor with a chest strap, that will be accurate. machines and MFP are both notoriously inaccurate.
  • I actually have one for my vivosmart I just need to start using it I guess.
