in Fitness and Exercise
The 'calories burned' total is very different from the fitness pal site and the exercise machine. If it says I burned 400 on the elliptical machine the fitness pal application will say 565... just wondering which people think is more accurate?? I always enter what the machine says.

    I go with the smaller number. At least, I did until I got a heart rate monitor. They're more accurate. That's the best bet.

    I always enter the calories from my heart rate monitor on my watch.
