    55 minutes at moderate capacity registers about 440-470 on my HRM. I'm 5'7 and 147lbs... I note that because my sister is much taller and she burns more calories than I do during the same workout.

    Best way is to get yourself a HRM (heart rate monitor) w/ a chest strap for an accurate reading of calories. I have 1 and use it for everything instead of guessing!

    Get yourself a good HRM with a chest strap -- none of those sites are accurate.
    If you use them, choose "low" and take off another 50-100 from the number -- then you might be close.
