Okay....so I put in my calories on this site and it tells me I burned 900, while my HRM told me I burned 600. Which is correct? (I took the conservative route and went for 600, but I want to know which is more accurate)

    The HRM - it takes into account your gender/weight aswell. :)

    as long as it is a programable heart rate monitore some of the cheaper ones are set for 34 yo males and you can only change gender you cant enter in your height or age!!

    Calories burnt is usually quite dependant on weight and BMI - the higher it is, the more calories you burn, so it may not be entirely accurate. :(

    That's what I was thinking. Great! I'll use the HRM. I love my HRM. It makes me happy. All warm and fuzzy inside.
