How accurate would you say the calories burned are for cardio? I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes on the treadmill and it says I burned approx. 500 calories. Does this seem about right to you?

I'm just worried about eating that many extra calories to make up for the exercise.

Thanks!

    MFP tends to overestimate calories burned with my experience.

    I think MFP overestimates for sure. I try to only eat about half my exercise calories to be on the safe side.
