What calories burned numbers should I use?

Reading from my new HRM monitor
or MFP Exercise log numbers?

    Stealing from Guru :]

    If you went to a carnival and played the "guess your weight" game, would you trust them or an actual scale?

    HRM is definitely more reliable!

    HRM is more accurate. Also, keep in mind that consistency is more important than spot-on accuracy.

    Probably HRM unless you're on beta blockers or any medication that will slow the heart. In that case, a HRM is pretty much worthless. healthstatus.com has the most accurate calculator I've found. But they're all estimates at best.
