Calorie reading conflict between MapMyRun and MyFitnessPal

When I walk I use my MapMyRun app on my phone, ie. Today I walked 10K and according to the app my calories burned were close to 700. When I load my food record on MyFitnessPal after my walk, the app tracks my walk too and adds it automatically, but the reading was only 300 calories burned for the same walk 10k(12.600 steps). Any suggestion? Thx

    Did you ever figure this out? I have a similar issue, now that I've upgraded Endomondo to MapMyRun. MyfitnessPal used to show as "exercise" whatever calories I burned in Endomondo, but now only shows about 15% of yesterday's run. Thanks in advance!

    FitPro has the same problem!
    The calories from some smartwatch, I think, can be trustworthier than MyFitnessPal. Cause the smartwatch considers more points of your exercise.
    It's just what I think...

    Lovelovegih, it's not so much that they're different (a little, which yours may or may not be, I don't know), so much as there's an 85% reduction (in my case) from calories shown in mapmyrun vs myfitnesspal... I haven't been able to figure it out yet!
