This morning I did a workout dvd for just over an hour and my HRM said I burned 668 cals but my BMF only says I burned 387!!! That almost 300 cals less!! I have only had the BMF for about 5 days but pretty much every workout since I've been using it shows I burned about 200 cals less than what my HRM shows. There was one time on the treadmill that it was pretty close but another time on the treadmill it showed over 200 cals less. I have no idea why there would be such a huge difference between the 2. Anyone experience this before? How do I know which one is right??

    Yes! I have totally experienced this. I never had a HRM, but my BMF usually gives me a number closer to 300 cal/hr. But it works out in the end. How many calories does the BMF tell you that you are burning every day?
