Treadmill/MFP question

I have a quick question...I just jogged a 15 minute mile (4mph), and my treadmill says I burned 147 calories, but when I log it, MFP says 95 calories. Anyone know which one would be more accurate? TIA!

How much do you weigh? Was there an incline on the treadmill?
If no incline and you're not substantially overweight, 147 sounds like an over-estimate. I would go with what MFP says, or invest in a HRM.0 -
I'm about 170 lbs (5' 2"), and there was no incline. I also have just started exercising, so it's not like I have a lot of muscle built up, either. Thanks for the input, I'll just leave it at 950
