Does MFP take in consideration age/sex/heart rate when determining calories burned? No, I do not have a heart rate monitor yet but plan on buying one as soon as I can :) I am sure someone my size (232) would burn more calories for doing the exact same exercise as someone 132. I think lol.

    Yes, I believe it takes it all into consideration. I put my husband's stats into my profile once just to see the difference and it definitely calculated everything at a different rate.
