Hi folks,
I have a question. MFP states that my that the calories that I am burning per excercise session is much higher than the elliptical machines states at the gym....
I'm not entering my weight or age on the machine as it dosen't have that option.....
Help not sure which number to go with...

I always took the lower number. I have a HRM now so I use the number from that.
I found that the HRM as higher than the gym, but lower than MFP.
Hope this helps.0
