Hi lovely people,

Im not sure how much i should trust the MFP exercise kcal estimates? So many people recently have been commenting how its calcuation is so far out from their HRM. When using gym cardio equipment i know it slightly over estimates in comparison with MFP so i just trust MFP but how reliable is this?

Thoughts, comments and suggestions?

Thanks x

    I have no other way to figure out what I'm burning so I go with what MFP says, and I've been losing.

    For me there is a pretty big difference, hundreds over a couple of hours comparing MFP and my HRM, wish I'd not been eating as many as my exercise calories back, always tried to leave a little deficit though.
