    At the speed you were running, the 480 number works out to a weight of 61 kg. If you are near that weight, then that is the most accurate number.

    Close, I'm at around 64 kg at the moment.

    I don't go off any calorie calculators. Know your own body. I know from experience that I burn about 100 cals per 10 minutes at an easy jog. If my workout was harder... I give myself a little more... if it was easier, a little less. If your choice is between two calculators, go with the lower number.

    This and no app is going to be 100% accurate because it is not a HRM. If you want a more precise total invest in one.

    I don't trust HR monitors either. I do bootcamp with a few people who use those, and they are always giving astronomical numbers.
