Why is it that my elliptical trainer says I burned 300 calories in my 60 minute workout, and MFP says it was 706??

    i think MFP matches your weight with how many calories you burn. the elliptical does a "general" calorie count

    If you input your age and weight into the elliptical, I would trust it more, it knows how hard you worked because it was there.
