Which calorie #'s should I log?

Since my HRM died and it doesn't look like I'll be getting another one soon enough I have a question for you all.

Would you log in the numbers off of the cardio machines or would you go with the MFP numbers?

The numbers on the treadmill are lower than the numbers on MFP and the numbers on the elliptical are way higher on the elliptical than they are on MFP.

What do you all think?

TIA

    Neither. They are both inflated. IMO

    Log which ever one is lower and then only eat 50-75% is what I usually do.

    What did your HRM approximately tell you for a typical session? Just round down and use that.
