I just finished a 45 minute run on a treadmill and was testing ,out my new RHYTHM HR monitor in tandem with the treadmill calorie counter.
both saw the same Heartbeats and had my age and current weight.

treadmill 758 calories burned,
RHYTHM 575 calories burned.

I also went on line and used 4 different running calculators, you feed your age, weight, distance and time and here is what I got:

42.195 km- 648 cals
walking cal burn calculator- 525
running cal burn calculator- 575
runners world-586

I guess the RHYTHM is the more accurate of the 2, the treadmill was too generous, about a 76% inaccuracy!

what do you think, I am trying to fine tune my calorie count and eat back the mot correct amount.
