Tracking calories burned

Hi vets,
I have a question regarding tracking calories burned. When I go for a walk I use Endomondo sports tracker, this tracks my calories burned based on speed, distance, weight etc. When I ride my exercise bike, the bike gives me calories burned, and when I workout on my kinect it gives me calories the burned. I’m not sure if these calories burned are correct. And when I go for swim or lift weights I have no clue, how many calories I’ve burned.

How do you track your calories burned? I've been looking a calorie tracking/heart rate monitor watches.

Thanks for your time

I rely more on my HRM that anything else.

Yesterday the stationary bike listed about 150 cals less than my HRM. today the treadmill was off by almost 100. A HRM with advanced calorie claculations is the best way to go. Swiming is hard to say Daily mile lists my swims at about 900 for an hour, but you really don't realise just how much work swimming can be. Weights are real hard as there is a carry over in calories burned as you body burns calories as it repairs and builds muscle. Livestrong.com and Dailymile.com are 2 sites I use.

I have a few friends who use the BodyMedia, but I don't have the funds.
