Anyone else think that when you add your exercises in that the calorie calculator seems a little generous?

    Actually in my case it wasn't "generous" enough...:laugh: I bought a HRM and now I know exactly what I burn throught my workouts. MFP was off by about 200 cals for me on just the walking part alone.

    I used to until I got a HRM. For me, MFP is under.

    Well according to my heart rate monitor I am actually burning more calories then the calculator says....Do you have a heart rate monitor?

    HRM is the way to go. Then you are more accurate. I thought it was too high too.

    I think that it depends on the person. It is very close to accurate for me right now.

    If you ask my Fiance i run pretty hot at any given time so once i start working out I am sweating like crazy.. I know my Heart Rate on cardio stays around 143-150 depending on how fast I am going.... and then we do the Jillian Michaels circuits that we are suppose to do... I just wasn't sure how accurate it was.
