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.

    heart rate monitor is the best......good ones out there are the polar heart monitors they come in all types and prices geared to your needs.
