Hey all

I was using the elliptical and I noticed when I entered the time in that the calories burned were about 100 apart. Which is more reliable do you think? The machines in good condition and I'm wondering which is more correct.

    I also use an elliptical and wondered the same thing, but i now know why. the elliptical doesnt know how much you weigh its just goin by your age and giving you how many calories burnt, myfitnesspal has your weight and all that info and know if you weigh this much you will burn these many calories. The more you weigh the more calories you burn. Hope this helps :)
