    Technically net calories, but keep in mind that MFP tends to overestimate how many you burn doing exercise and there are very few ways to really know how much you burn with any particular exercise unless you have some fancy equipment such as a chest heart rate monitor and know your metabolic rate. Otherwise you are just guesstimating.
