What are your thoughts on the accuracy of the calorie burn calculator on MyFitnessPal? The number of burned calories it calculates after putting in minutes seems a little high. Other online calculators tend to be 2-300 calories less for the same time and activity.

Thanks for your thoughts, in advance!

    For most ita pretty high. I would either switch to the tdee method to alleviate that if you exercise consistently or eat 50% of those burned calories
