I downloaded Endomondo onto my phone and used it for the first time today. when i was done, my phone said i burned 363 kcal, but the website says 697 kcal. why is there a difference? i put the lower number into MFP's exorcise diary because that seemed like the sane amount. Does anyone know which one i should use?

    I use Endomondo with a HRM and have been doing good losing weight. So seems to be accurate enough to not over estimate calories burned.

    I know a few people who use it, but my problem is that it gave me two different kcal burn amounts and i don't know which one is the right one. My phone said 362 and the website has it listed as 697. which one would it be?

    People have cited on these forums that MFP over estimates about 20% or so. However it is double in your case which is odd. Did you fill out the profile in Endomondo completely? It uses age and weight in the calculation along with time and pace.
