... Sport Select Heart Rate Watch at calculating calories burned during exercise? I used it for the first time today and it said I burned 460 cal during my 35 min run!! I usually only give myself credit for 200 cal tops!!! Now I'm freaking out! Have I been under eating by 200 cal on my exercise days? I am at my goal wt now and am afraid if I add those extra calories I might start gaining:-/

    Depending on how hard you are working, it is very easy to burn 460 calories in a 35 minute run. You generally burn about 1.5 times more calories running than you do walking an equal distance. An average person at a moderate pace burns around 150 calories per mile running.
