If you really want to focus on calories burned you should invest in a HRM and not estimates from the machines at the gym or from online calculators...

This is why I never bother counting calories burned from exercise. AND most machines show the gross calorie burn estimates, not the net... making the problem that much worse! Heart rate monitors do the same thing.

Don't trust those elliptical readouts. They read crazy high.

the sad thing is though, we eat 'treat's that are 200-300 calories or more and then we see roughly how many calories we burn exercising. is it any wonder we're on these boards?
