The machines in my gym drastically over-estimate my calorie burns. If I had to choose one to log, I would probably go with MFP.0
-
I would suggest the lower of the 2. And it's a good chance that both could be over calculating the calories burned.2

I used to log ~80% of the MFP burn. I did find that my FitBit was pretty spot on though, so if you have one of those I would trust the burn.0

Machines tend to over exaggerate, in my experience. I'd go with the MFP calculation.0

Pick the lower one, unless it's running,
then use the runner's world calculation

When I was just logging without a smart watch, I cut the number from MFP calculations in half and entered that. Then I ate all those calories.0
