How Many Calories did I burn

I weight 280 lbs. In the Database tool for "how many calories did I burn" it says that I burned 575 for 30 minutes. Is this right? It does not seem right to me. It seems like too much. Does anyone know how it is calculated. I used it on the lowest level and at a slow to moderate pace. Is there a better way to determine how many calories I burned?

    "I weight 280 lbs. In the Database tool for "how many calories did I burn" it says that I burned 575 for 30 minutes. Is this right? - I doubt it.

    "It does not seem right to me. It seems like too much".- You're probably right.

    "Does anyone know how it is calculated." - I think they use a magic hat.

    "I used it on the lowest level and at a slow to moderate pace. Is there a better way to determine how many calories I burned?" - Yes. Get a heart rate monitor.
