What should I do?

I have a Mio Triumph HRM. I wear it on my wrist over my vein and start it before my workout and check my heart rate every 5 minutes or so. The problem I'm having is the calories burned is way below what the machines or MFP says.

When I do my strength training for 20 minutes, it says I burn 15-20 calories but MFP says 90.
When I do my elliptical workout for 35 minutes it says I burn 275-290 and the elliptical says I burn 340-360 and MFP says 467.

I know MFP isn't always on dot. But should I listen to my HRM or the machines/MFP?
