calories burned while hiking - Map My Ride

Aunt_Kiki

I'm curious to see how close to accurate others have found the calorie counter on Map My Ride to be. Obviously, I SHOULD be using a fitbit or something similar, but for 1 1/2 hrs of hiking, Map My Ride says I burned over 1200 calories. Is that even close to possible? Seems really high to me. Thanks!

Map My xxx has Map My Hike too. But 1200 KCal seems way high.

Although, according to fitwatch.com , 90 minutes of hiking with a moderate weight pack for a 210lb person burns 1200 KCal.
But caloriesperhour.com say 90 minutes of hiking with no pack for a 210lb person burns 850 KCal. 1075 KCal with a 20 lb pack.
