How accurate is the gym equipment when determing calories burnt? Why is the extra calories for exercise on myfitnesspal so much higher than on the equipment? Should I actually be eating as much as it says?

In my new experience with a HRM, the machines are off by a lot that is why unless you have a HRM I feel you should not eat your exercise calories back because you are doing so based on a false reading. The closest I got without an HRM is to take 100 calories per mile walked but even that is off a bit for me. My treadmill at the gym is off by hundreds of calories every day.0
