I use the MapMyFitness App in snyc with the MyFitnessPal but sometimes I get a lil discouraged when my Calorie count differentiates from the machine I use in terms of accuracy according to your height and weight. For ex. On a Treadmill it may say 950 calories burned but on the app it may say 445 calories burned at the end of my workout session. I dont know.

    All devices seem to read different. I used Map My Fitness yesterday for a short 15 minute walk. It said I burned 86 calories, but my Fitbit showed 119 calories burned. I don't have have Map My Fitness synced to MFP, but I do have my Fitbit connected.

    My treadmill doesn’t ask me how tall I am or what my gender is, it does adjust the burn estimates if I use the heart rate sensors, but it only asks how much I weigh. I don’t pay any attention to its calorie burn estimates because there is no way I trust what it’s telling me.
