What is the most accurate site to calculate calories burned? I entered one hour push mowing and the number was huge, would love to believe it, but doubt it.

    They are all going to be a bit of an estimate since none of them calculate in how hard you actually worked and your current physical shape. You can purchase a heart rate monitor and they will do a better job at calculating how much you're burning.

    Heart rate monitors are only accurate for some steady state cardio. They are not accurate for things like lawn mowing, leisurely walking, Zumba, yoga, lifting, etc.
