Hi I'm looking for some help. I'm constantly reading that MFP exercise calories are way to high, so how else to I measure them??
I know lots of you will say use a HRM but I cannot afford a decent one at the moment. I do Jillian Micheals DVDS, lots of walking and couch to 5k. Any help would be appreciated.

There are a few calculators online that may help you, just do a little googling, but honestly, my MFP calculated burn is not far off my HRM usually.
On another note, heart rate monitors are not as expensive as you may think.
You can find an FT7 for as cheap as $60.00 online, and older models even cheaper.
With Black Friday/Cyber Monday coming, the discounts will likely be even deeper.0 -
