How can i determine an accurate number of calories i burned on the elliptical machine? can i rely on the numbers on the machine because i have no interest in downloading a calorie-count app that will use up more of my phone's data?? yes? no? maybe??

Sharing frustration: I too use machines and each gives markedly varying outcomes in spite of identical programs. Approximate values maybe In other words, all vague advertising hype!!!
