HRM vs MFP calories : 200+ calorie difference?

aimeelouwhite

Now the funny thing is today I got my new York HRM... On this walk (with my kids) I stopped it each time I was just in a shop browsing as I had some messages to do). THe monitor says I burned 476kcal. When I log it as I normally would via MFP (pre HRM days I get 259cals. A huge difference... of 217. Even if I take my BMR divided by 24 (since I walked for an hour) that only allows me to subract 60cals so still a difference of 157ish???/ what have others found ?? (60 mins and I logged it as # aimeelouwhite burned 259 calories doing 60 minutes of "Walking, 3.0 mph, mod. pace, walking dog"
