According to RunKeeper, the app I use to map my runs, I burned 644 calories, but according to MFP, I only burned 412... Which one should I trust? :)

    Without more information it's hard to say.

    How far? How fast? Average heart rate?

    The real number is probably somewhere in between, use somewhere between 100 and 125 cal per mile as a sanity check.

    Neither, get a heart rate monitor for the most accuracy.
