How accurate is the calorie counter on the elliptical?

Q. I was just wondering, how accurate could it be?

A. On their own, they are utterly inaccurate. After you put in your relevant information (weight and age) they become more accurate, but they can still be off by as much as 33%. When you couple that with the fact that they artificially inflate the number to make you feel better, you can say that they are not very accurate at all.

The treadmill one is a little bit better, but not much. You pretty much only want to concern yourself with time, angle and resistance on the ellptical (maybe heart rate if you want to). Everything else is extra and can be ignored.

How accurate is the calorie counter on the life fitness cross trainer?
Q. I think the brand is life fitness, but not sure. I use it in fitness first.

A. calorie counters are very accurate.

What website can i find a calorie counter that will add up the total calories of the food i eat each day?
Q. I need to know this because i am in health class and we are learning about it. I get extra credit if i keep track of how many calories i obtain each day.

A. The best and honest free website I can think of is either FitDay.com or Caloriecount.about.com both of these websites have comprehensive databases with accurate information and also have some extra features to help with dieting and such.
