Breaststroke or frontcrawl- which burns more calories?

I was trying to work this out last night :O) after 45 minutes swimming breaststroke last night. I found this website which tells you how many calories you burn per pound of weight for both strokes:

It doesn't seem fair though that someone heavier than me burns more calories for the same amount of exercise :O(
per lap, breaststroke. But frontcrawl improves cardio better, however, it builds less muscle.
Front crawl.
Front crawl, there is more movement involved and is a bit more energetic. Breaststroke is a gentle, more relaxing stroke.
Frontcrawl - definitely
freestyle,
which is frontcrawl.
I would guess the front crawl.
