    The best way to get calorie burn is from a heart rate monitor really, anything else is based on gender/weight/height and whilst it can be accurate for one person, it can be totally inaccurate for another.

    Your best bet if you don't have a HR Monitor is to use the database entries/link your phone pedometer and work on the basis of 50% being an accurate figure for 4 weeks or so, if at the end of the 4 weeks you're losing at the rate you specified in your MFP settings then stick at 50%, if you're losing faster eat more back, if you're losing slower eat less back.

    Above advice is based on accurate food logging also.
