Hi, I did (only!) 6 ish mins on a cross trainer(they call it elliptical trainer here) and it counted on there that I have burnt 100 calories. When I put the amount of mins onto my exercise diary, it gave me around 60calories, not the 100 that I apparently burnt. Which to believe? my machine or myfitnesspal? :D thanks

    Split the difference for now, but you'll probably need a larger sample size. So after you've done elliptical 5-6 times, then you should have a good idea of how to log it?
