Hey guys, I was just wondering how accurate you think the calorie counter on ITG is?

Accuracy = 0.

The arcade's calorie counter is probably about 2 or 3 times too high (though at least it's somewhat consistent), and the PS2 version is probably close to 10 times too high (and very inconsistent thanks to a glitch).

I wouldn't use the calorie meter at all ... just go for a particular amount of time or a particular number of songs, and find the difficulty level that leaves you exhausted by still able to stand up after that amount of time.

Apparantly the calorie counter is like that because of a bug that shifts the decimal over a place. I remember reading somewhere that if you put you weigh 1/10th of what you actually weigh (for example 180 -> 18) it's more accurate.
