My "Diet and Excercise Assistant" Palm Pilot program calculates caloric expenditures from excercise. I just ran 55 minutes at 6 miles an hour (actually I went faster than that, but it got rounded down to 6 mph). Anyways, the program tells me that at 235 pounds, running for 55 minutes, at 6 miles per hour, I burned approximately 1100 calories!!!!??!!! That sounds like a pretty huge amount.
Does this sound right to people? The treadmill readout listed about 600 calories burned, but it didn't ask me for my weight in arriving at this calculation.

Yes, this does indeed sound about right. 235 lbs is a lot of weight to lug around for an hour. I just checked another web-based calculator and it came up with about the same amount of calories, a tad lower.
To be safe I'd always round down those numbers to the next lowest 100, and have a healthy skepticism of anything a treadmill tells you.

if it did not ask you for the weight, and does not have a built in scale, it is worthless.

My "Diet and Excercise Assistant" Palm Pilot program calculates caloric expenditures from excercise. I just ran 55 minutes at 6 miles an hour (actually I went faster than that, but it got rounded down to 6 mph). Anyways, the program tells me that at 235 pounds, running for 55 minutes, at 6 miles per hour, I burned approximately 1100 calories!!!!??!!! That sounds like a pretty huge amount.
Does this sound right to people? The treadmill readout listed about 600 calories burned, but it didn't ask me for my weight in arriving at this calculation.
Opinions please.
Using the standard METS tables, and assuming you're of average height and around 45 years old, my program indicates that you would have burned 810 calories. Even this is probably a bit high, because it assumes "real" running - I think treadmill running burns somewhat less calories than outdoor running, so 750 might be a better estimate.
