Elliptical machine calorie count accurate?!


Question: okay well i dont look at it because it does not ask for my weight, but i went to self.com and entered 104 pounds and moderate and it said i burned 268...

i worked out for 50 minutes, which was equal to 3.68 miles, i was on resistance level 3 and i got a good sweat going..but i just thought i burned more calories. How much do you think i burned?

104 pounds. 15 years old. 4'11''

it's probably right. You don't burn as many calories as you think. Don't worry, you burn plenty of calories during day to day things. Any additional exercise should bring you above a normal food intake.

It's probably wrong! It did not take your muscle mass or body fat % into account. So if you're more muscular you burned more and vice versa. Anyways it isnt always about calories just keep doing what your doing.
