Are the 'calories burned' supplied by MFP accurate? for example I use the elliptical and it says I burn of 500-ish for 40 minutes of work

    They tend to be over. Most people either use a HRM or take 25%-50% off what MFP says.

    I can do a zumba class and burn 700 calories but MFP will say it would have been 1100 calories.
