Something to keep in mind is that heart rate monitors are not designed to calculate calories when you are below your target heart rate zone (My minimum is 135 about). If you are not in your zone, the calorie count is way too high because the formula is not meant to calculate extrapolated data (data outside of your target zone). I would say go with what MFP says.
How do you know your target heart rate?0
