    If you are using the heart rate sensors on the machine, then the machine. MFP grossly over estimates. By far the best estimate you will get is with a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. There are many on the market for reasonable prices. I got a lower end Polar for under $100. Best money I have spent so far in my effort to get healthy.
