BOy their are a lot of posts today! My question is: when I treadmill I can put in my weight and the calories get calculated (my bike doesn't do it for my weight but just average) but then when I go to the online calorie counter and put in my age, weight and height it gives me a much higher number usually. Of course I want to think that one is right! but yet my home treadmill does take in my weight. So how do I know?

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Well from everything I've read, the calculators on treadmills and bikes are NOTORIOUSLY inaccurate. However most things say that they grossly OVERESTIMATE your calories burned, and you seem to be experiencing the opposite. So... not sure. Maybe averaging them might be the best option??
