    My treadmill reads around the same as MFP. I generally burn 10 cals per minute

    When walking/running or hiking outside, I use the imapmyrun app. It is always lower then MFP and you get the milage you traveled as well. When in the gym, I use the amount the machine gives back.

    I'm using endomondo and MFP and I'm pretty sure endomondo has a tendency to inflate the figures to encourage the customers? MFP is only about 2/3 of the calories for my 35 minute morning walk to work :/

    I like errr on the side of the lower calories.
