I'm pretty surprised by how low the calorie burn is for spinning on MFP. I know the real calorie burned is dependent on intensity and current body weight. I don't have a HRM but am wondering for those who do how your calories burned per your HRM compares to if you were to just log on MFP by minutes. Thanks!

    If I remember correctly, MFP spin calories was a little low compared to my HRM. You're right, different variables - how tired I am, did I eat, etc - but sometimes MFP was low almost 200 or so calories.
