Calories Burned

Hey,
I did the Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit this morning. I've put that I burnt 400 calories doing it, however using the average heart rate from my heart rate monitor and a calculator I found on a website, it shows I burn't more like 700 calories! Could this be correct? If it is I am seriously underestimating my calorie burn. I just need to know so I can up my calorie intake to suit.
Thanks

Always go by your HRM, it is way more accurate! Feels good, doesn't it?0

I had the same question my HRM showed 600- 750 calories burned in a workout.. I use it and am still dropping the weight granted its only been one week.0
