How accurate at sites like www.thedailyplate.com and www.fitday.com? I've been using fitday's software for a while and I wanted to see how accurate they are. I compared my workout today (weight loss cardio today) on both FD and TDP. The daily plate says I burned around 500 calories, fitday says around 300, another site (http://www.healthstatus.com) says around 400. Supposedly all of these take your weight into account (fitday doesn't indicate that it does, but its a nice piece of software, I suspect if does). I just want to know how well I did but all this conflicting information is confusing. What do you think is most accurate, what do you use as a calories burned estimator?

Here are the exercises I put into each calculator:

-Rowing, moderate, 10 minutes (I was actually busting my ass, but I think these things tend to overestimate so I tell it moderate)
-Walking, 3.5 MPH, 30 minutes

I also did 10 minutes of pretty high intensity elliptical but fitday didn't have an elliptical entry (???) so I left it off.

I weigh 266.

Portions vary, they're not that accurate. What you should do is overestimate the calories you're eating, and exercise accordingly. For example, one Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box contains 1600 calories, requiring you to do 2 hours of HIIT cardio to work it off.

My question isn't about their calories estimates for food (I just use the label) I'm wondering about their calorie estimates for exercise.
