Help Finding Accurate Elliptical Calories Burned

Nysportsred

I have looked at so many sites over the last few months and the difference between them all is so large that I am not really sure what would be correct. I don't go by the numbers on the machine as the ones on the machines are never right it seems. The total myfitnesspal gives me I dont think is right either.

When I am on the elliptical it is usually between 70-80 minutes. I am 5'10 and 190 pounds. I go a moderate pace and at items I increase the speed for a few minutes to change it up. According to the display on the machine I do 14.25 miles and burn 1410 calories.

I have seen that in 75 (for argument's sake) minutes I burn anywhere from 400-1100. Myfitnesspal says 1375 which I think might be a bit high.

Does anyone have a reliable site or any tips for me to figure out an accurate number?

Thanks for your help!

80 mins on elliptical, minimal HIIT I would guesstimate 6-700 calories maximum

Eat those

Check weight over 6 - 8 weeks and you have your answer

I'm a bit lighter than you but maybe work at a higher intensity. I usually estimate 9 kcal/minute net, which seems to be working.

I divide the calories shown in half. works out to about 8 cal per minute.
