Does anyone use an outside website to figure their calories burned? I've been using the calories in the database, but doesn't the calorie burn depend alot on how much you weigh/how hard you're working?

Thanks!

    This database gives a pretty close estimate to how many calories you burn. Also there are many different levels to some activities (walking, running, etc) and when you choose the speed you are going at it is more accurate. As you lose weight, the amount of calories burned also goes down. Unfortunately. I don't think you need an outside website, unless the activity you're looking for isn't here.
