Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below i just noticed a little discrepency when it came to calories burned on the treadmill at my school gym as compared to my gym at home when i walk at 4.0mph and 6.5% incline at my school gym i burn approx 500 cals but at home my treadmill says approx 700 calories why such a large difference and which would you say is more correct?

Unfortunately I would suspect neither, they are both estimates based on a calculation using the data you enter about yourself before you start, the formula’s used for this will be different in each machine. Everyone’s metabolism is different to the next person’s, so you just cant use one formula to calculate everybody’s calorie expenditure.
As you said on both, these are approximate, so just use them as a guide, baring in mind that 100 or so calories either way is not going to make a major difference.
