I don't really count calories burned. I figure them in on a weekly basis - (I work out 3-5 times a week for about an hour).
I like the Scooby Calculator. Nothing is ever going to be perfect but it's worked well for me.

Invest in a good food scale and a heart rate monitor. How many calories are estimating to be burning during a workout?
I use Polarm400 to track my daily activities (steps) and calories burned during a workout. I second what everyone here is suggesting, you should weigh everything you eat ( with the exception liquids, for that you can use measuring cups, unless of course you're using olive oil or coconut oil, I would make sure to weigh those 15g or single servings portions).
Here is an example of what my daily PolarM400 diary looks like. I use the number of calories burned according to my PolarM400 and subtract 600 from it to get a 600 calorie deficit.
So I use my IOS activity measurement as well as running on the treadmill. Whatever the treadmill says I burn I assume it's 25% off
I bought a food scale everyone! Thank you for all of the information. Hoping to see results after a few changes are made!
