Hi there...this is my first time posting in the forums.

I've been logging my exercise but the calories earned seems very high to me. How accurate are their stats for exercise?

Thank You!

    Hi,

    They are failry inaccurate, they are based on a percentage of your weight etc.

    The best way to get an accurate measurement is to get a HRM. You can then adjust the cals burned in the exercise bit each time, which is what alot of people do here. People have had varying results on MFP which is the cals MFP state are either higher or lower than actual.

    You can add me if you like I will help you on this journey
