Calculating calories burned

I'm absolutely certain that MFP overestimates calories burned when hiking so I have finally ordered an HRM (the Garmin 110 as it also includes GPS to track my hikes).
In the meantime I've been using this website:

Looking forward to comparing it with my HRM to see if I have been logging correctly!

I use endomondo on my smartphone...hella cheaper than going out and buying a GPS. Idk if it's as accurate as a HRM but I'm sure it's more accurate than MFP.0
