I was talking with a co-worker today who said that someone at her gym told her that the machines at gyms were configured for men, who burn more calories than women, therefore the calorie burn women see is not accurate?
Has anyone heard anything like this? And how true is it? And if that's the case, how many calories am I REALLY burning?
Man, who knew this whole process would be so.... mathematical. lol

My trainer maintains that the calorie reading are total crap, they are based on generalities and couldn't possibly take in all the permutations of what goes into the calculation.
You could probably flip this to ask: why do I want to know how many calories I'm burning at the gym?
I say that because many people tend to eat more when they are working out regularly, because guess what, exercise makes you hungry (g-ddamn).
