How accurate is the exercis calculator? I am around 200ish pounds rode bike 76 min at mod pace of 12-14 mph. The exercise calculator gives me 951 calories burned. I dont think so! I know a heart rate monitor is the most accurate way of being able to tell calories burned however, I dont want to spend the money on one at this time. In your opinion how accurate is the exercise calculator. I like to eat back my calories or at atleast some of them but would like a more accurate number. By the way my husband who also weighs around 200 pounds as well rode with me his runtastic he uses showed 620 calories burned.

    Pretty accurate. Like I run each morning so I burn around a little over 800 calories from that. As long as you log it in correctly then you're all good. :-)
