So walk jog run told me I burned 283.6 calories, and MFP said only 149... it's quite a big difference, so which should I go for?

    I guess you could choose a number somewhere in between?!? But in my experience I have found mfp to be too high so maybe go with the lower to be on the safe side. I have just got a HRM myself and sometimes the difference is mind blowing! Plus it explains why I haven't been losing for a while, as I was eating back my 'exercise' calories which turns out I hadn't actually earned!!
