    So... We clear that MFP is showing the higher calorie burn... it screwed my targets, however best time to pick it back..

    I won't eat back my earned calories that for sure..

    Thank you all.. :)

    This is a far more accurate site just for exercise burns: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc hope it helps

    This website gave me 20 more calories than MFP for the same 30 minute run.

    For me, MFP numbers, seem to work pretty well. Although, I'm sure there are a lot of confounding factors.

    I actually prefer this site. It doesn't list as many exercises as MPF but I think it gives a more realistic number of calories burned.

    This is another site that gives me more than mfp.

    I found that too. I think I'll just stick with MFP and calculate the same way I have been for the last 9 months, it's not done me any harm, lol!
