Pilates and calories burned

Can anyone tell me if the MFP exercise database is correct on the pilates calories burned. I read a review on the pilates video that I am currently doing, and the lady said that she burns over 300 calories when she does the entire 50 min video. The MFP database says that I am only burning like 111 calories for 30 min. I am curious because if I am really burning more calories, then i need to be eating more calories. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Sorry, I just put in my 30 min of pilates for the morning and MFP says I only burned 83 calories. 111 is for 40 min.

    Only a HRM can really tell you.

    This. Please do not go by what any app or calculator tells you. Every body is different. Two 5'8", 190 lb people doing the exact same workout for the exact same time will have two different caloric burns. Lots of factors play in to it, so please get a HRM.
