when you input your exercise into the exercise board on MFP does the website take into consideration your height and weight that you have entered or is the number it tell you the same for everyone?
EX. i am 5'7 and 130lbs. if i do 45 min of cardio it says is burn about 274 calories. did it use my height and weight to get to this number or will a 5'6 person who weighs 175lbs get the same number?

    it takes your weight into consideration.
    Someone who weighs more than you, will burn more calories doing the same thing as you because they have more weight on them.

    edit - i'm not sure about the height though.

    I'm not sure what it goes by but I've used it twice and compared it to my HRM and the first time it was way over and today it was way under. If you really want to know how many cals your burning get a HRM. You will love it!
