Accurately calculating calories?

I use the elliptical quite a bit, and it says that for 33 minutes, I'm buring around 340 calories. How do I determine if this is accurate? I've always heard that machines overestimate. I want to make sure I'm using the correct number when I'm calculating my calories in MFP.

    If you have a heart rate monitor that would give you the right number. I just got a polar ft4 and love it!
