I just got Run Keeper for my phone, and I love being able to see how fast I'm going, etc, but the calories it says I've burned are WAY over what MFP says! Anyone know why? Which should I follow?

    Try googling different calorie counters (there are a bunch out there), and enter in all of your stats, and see what they say. Go with the consensus.

    Typically it is MFP that way over estimates. A HRM is your best bet for accuracy. I would actually log less than MFP suggests.

    I've been losing weight faster than MFP thinks I should be, so I wonder if, for me, it might not be generous enough with calories burned...
