Anyone know why my exercise bike sais I burned a certain amount of calories but when I go to log it on here MFP actually sais I burned double that? An which number for accuracy should I be using the lower or higher?

    I do not think exercise bikes take weight into account. I would suggest sticking to what MFP says, as that seems to be connected to your weight.

    Unless I am doing it wrong the exercise bike I see in my Exercise catagories (Stationary Bike) only account for your weigt and time on the bike. However time on the bikes isn't that useful altogether since you may have 100rpm and someone else may have 80rpm. I use the calories that the one in the gym tells me since it has at least worked that out using the distance i cycled.
