    My HRM gives me numbers way lower than MFP and a good 30-100 cal lower than the eliptical machine says, even with entering age/weight.

    Yep, this happens to me too. Just did 45 mins on the elliptical. My HRM was 100 calories less than the machine, even with entering my age and weight. Because I do high impact cardio classes four times a week (along with strength training), I have to REALLY exert myself to burn calories. The elliptical doesn't know that.

    Both MFP and machines WAY overestimate calories burned.
