Ok my main workouts are on my elliptical. I have stepped it up by doing the Juilliard michals ifit challenge. After 30 min of intense workout on it my elliptical says I burned almost 500 calories but the myfitnesspal report says only 300 something. Which one should I go off of?

  • My trainer said not to pay any attention to the amount of calories burned according to the machines because the amount of calories you burn is based on sex, height and weight. Hope that helps some.
