I was on a stationary bike for 40 mins, ~20mph is what the machine said I was going.
The HRM on the bike said I was between 170-199.
i went to enter it into Sparkpeople- said I'd burn 900 calories?! Wtf, no way.
THe bike said I burned around 170...
What should I enter?

Unfortunately the "calories burned" that gym equipment provides is notoriously inaccurate...
There is a good sticky here in the exercise forums that touches on that... It's called "Are the Calorie Counts on Cardio Machines Accurate" It's pretty interesting... But it might be a bit disappointing...
