Hey Gang:
Been using MyFitnessPal for about two weeks now... Love it! Have a question though... For my weight (230 and age 52) it calculates that 40 minutes of Elliptical work will burn about 700 calories... The machine I use suggest about 400 calories, and the calculators on-line are everywhere from 300 calories to 800 calories... How in the heck do you decide what calorie count to use??? Appreciate any informed advice!!!

Use the lowest one. The MFP database is well-known for including some huge over-estimations.0
