Why do the calories burned on MFP read significantly higher than on my treadmill? Which reading should I use?

    Use the lower one.

    In the grand scheme of things it's more important to use the same one consistently than to worry about which is least wrong.

    I go with the calories on the machine or my HRM. MFP estimates are always far too high for me.
