So I'm stumped. When I was on the elliptical, it said that I burned 110 calories. That's awesome. Yay. Go me. However, when I come back home and plug it into my myfitnesspal it said that for the amount of time spent, I actually burned 229 calories. Which one is accurate?!
Thanks :)

    Dont follow the machines, they are wrong. MFP is closer to being accurate based on your weight being accurate. I got a HRM and it runs close to MFP, but still a difference, usually to the high side.
