Calories burned after weight loss............

it seems to me, that as you lose weight, you should burn less calories per minute with activity. However, the exercise tracker on here does not reflect that. i put in that my weight was 19 pounds lighter just as a test, and according to MFP, I burned the exact amount of calories I would have burned 19 pounds heavier. Not good! Any thoughts? I'm just worried that the info will be way off as I lose weight.

    can always use an online calculater like this one http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=65 and adjust the numbers on here yourself....but as everyone else will tell you, a HRM is your best tool as well :)
