Is there a formula to calculate the calorires I burn when I exercise? I have a hard time trusting what MFP tells my because I know I'll burn more calories at my weight than my wife who wieghs 1/2 my weight.....

Help please.....;)

    just came back from buying a heart rate moniter. I am hoping it will be well worth the $85 I spent on it.
