Formula for Calories Burned

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know what the formula is to figure out how many calories you burned without using a heart rate monitor? I realize buying a HRM is probably the best way to do it, but for those people that can't afford that right now, there has to be some way to do it. I'm not sure how accurate the MFP calories burned really is for their exercises listed. Anyone know?

Thanks

    I wear a HTM when I bike and run and it's USUALLY fairly close (within 20 calories). It was within 1 calorie tonight when I entered my bike ride. I don't know how accurate is on other activities but I would think it's close.
