So on my run today, my Nike +gps app says I burned 297 calories, MFP says 329. Which would you use? I'm trying to eat all my activity calories or I don't know which to use.

    Use the lower one. I also eat all of my ex cals back and I err on the side of caution with it :)

    ^ I second that. MFP really tends to overestimate your calories burned by far.
