| The tracker has it's own idea of how many calories I burn in 30 minutes on the eliptical, lol! Can I change it? |

I enjoy having an estimate. I know that if I normally get a reading of 300 calories and I'm only seeing 100, then I need to step it up.
My preference.
If anyone knows, I would appreciate it. If not I can't just keep track on my own. |

I get that, it kinda makes you feel good. The elliptical at my gym says I burned 400 cals in 30 minutes at level 2. Mine at home says about 310 for the same time at levels 5 and 7, doing intervals. Your looking for performance feedback, and that's cool.
You could also measure your performance by the distance (steps)/levels increased in the same amount of time on the elliptical, for example.
Once you get in the habit of measuring success by performance, all the rest falls into place and you won't have to worry so much about calories burned and BMR et al. |
