How acurate is the data base here on mfp for calories burned. I don't have any other way to check but I've seen others telling people their calories burned looks inflated. How do you know for sure how many your burning?

    I have the Polar watch that gives you accurate calories burned based on your heart rate.
    That is the closest that I have ever come to being able to gauge it accurately.

    I have a BodyMedia Fit that shows me calories burned throughout the day.
