Calories different on MFP

ValerieGaniron

anyone else have a smart watch? (M400) when I worked out on the elliptical today it said I burned 459 calories; but on my fitness pal it says it would've been 925 ? Which would oh go with?? I mean it's a HUGE difference or I would've just gone with my watch. Just curious.

MFP overestimates burns hugely, thus people generally eat back half.

I'd go with your watch

Always go with the lower number in my opinion

Yep. I'd rather underestimate than overestimate.
