I have noticed that when I burn calories on FE they do not match the calories MFP calculates. Does anyone know how FE calculates the calories lost or even how MFP does its calculations?

  • In FE you can input your weight, height age and sex which it then uses to calculate calories burned. You can then create a custom exercise in MFP and manually input the time and calories burned at the end of each workout.
  • I have no idea - but I know it is not matching the real calories I've been burning...

    Spend some money and buy a Heart rate monitor. It is worth it.
