Default Weird numbers from FitDay...

Hello all. I wanted to ask about the exercise calculations in FitDay - specifically, the calories burned for the various activities. EG: for the activity: Walking, 4.5 mph, level, firm surface, very very brisk pace FitDay calculates that 30 minutes burns 105 calories. But when I do this with my Polar Heart monitor on, it reports that I have burned nearly 3X as many calories as FitDay. I have also had this experience when I jog or run - FitDay appears to calculate a much lower calorie burn than my heart monitor, or the heart rate monitor at the Gym, which is pretty much the same as mine...

Anyone have info advice about this?

Cheers!
