My fitness walkers screen says less calories than here!

I have got a Nordic air walker, and it says it's elliptical! I hope it is! I did 6 minutes ( I had only just put it together) and it said 46 calories, but myfitnesspal said 59! Which one do I go with! Or do I enter it as something else? Thanks x

I'd go with the lower one ,MFP tends to over estimate. Only way to be truly accurate is to get a heart rate monitor.

Your elliptical knows how fast you were going and at what resistance. MFP's database doesn't. Go with your machine.
