I just started used my Timex Zone Trainer heart rate monitor and after 45 minutes of fairly intense cardio this morning it said I burned 800 calories. I know these are not really "exact" and it differs for everyone but that seems a little high to me. For those of you using a HRM that tracks burned calories, what do you put in to myfitnesspal.com? Do you enter the full amount your HRM says you burned or some variation of it? Thanks!

    Does that particular HRM have a chest strap? I have a Polar FT7 and I put in the exact amount of calories burned because I trust that HRM. However, I don't eat every last exercise calorie back. That's just me though.
