    To answer the question about what exercise. I logged in a 24 minute elliptical session and then MFP said that i burned 395 calories. My machine itself says about 110. That is why i was concerned that when the exercise calories allotted are not correct i could be setting myself up to not lose or even gain if I eat all the inaccurate calories burned.

    Although not all ellipticals can be trusted it at least has some idea of the effort you put it - you can overwrite the 395 that the database suggested by your machine's estimate of 110. It will at least be proportionate and sounds entirely reasonable.

    That's a far superior method to completely ignoring your exercise.
