So... I go to the gym. The elliptical I use has me input my weight and age. It says I burn 231 calories. Then I enter my information here on the tracker for elliptical and it says I have burned 200 calories MORE than the machine. Which one do I use??

    I have an HRM and the machines are fairly accurate.
