I agree totally, I find about 50 % are correct. When in doubt go with your own research. A recent sudy I saw on a documentary channel showed machines indicating calories burned were on average about 25% overstated.0

I've found the same thing. Now I scan in my own food as much as possible, and double check compared to the containers if I have to.
The calories burned are always off for me too, but like someone else said, I bust my butt and use a 15% incline on the treadmill so I'm burning more than if it were set to 0. I always use the HR monitor from the treadmill after entering my weight and age for how many calories I've burned. I need to get a good HR monitor for myself.0
