How many Calories for Just Dance?

So I do the Sweat Mode of Just Dance on Wii, and it tells me "allegedly" how many calories i burn/have burnt. However I did it for about 45ish minutes and it said I burned over 1,000 Calories, however It does not seem like that, and when I looked on MFP, I noticed someone else kind of having the Same question and more people put it under Dancing, General (which i did too) but i'm wondering how accurate the Wii is. Or why does it give me SUCH a high number? I do it full board and work HARD, but still I dont quite understand. How does everyone else log their Just Dance? (I do Just Dance 3 mostly)

I usually log it as Dancing (General). 1000 calories for 45 minutes sounds like a lot. I wouldn't trust that number.

I'm confused as to where you're getting the 1000 calories number? I've only played Just Dance 3 and 4 but from what I remember, there wasn't any kind of calorie counter. The "Just Sweat" points are not meant to be counted as calories.

Some of the Wii Zumba games do claim that they are calories, but they just go by how well you played the game, which could be done without burning nearly that much.

As others have said, I just use "Dancing, general" or "Dancing, aerobic" when I have really worked up a sweat.

When you do the Just Sweat Mode and it tells you once you quite how many calories you burned. But like i said, i dont ever go according to that, but that just seems confusing as to why it would do that.
