I always used my HRM for the calories I was burning running or cycling or other aerobic activity and then knocked off my estimated BMR calories from that to get me something close to a net calorie burn. I never personally used the database entries for exercise. I'll burn in the neighborhood of 1,000 calories on a 30 mile bike ride.ignoring those would be foolish.
100% of exercise calories may or may not be accurate.but 0% is definitely not accurate. It can also be detrimental to fitness gains as well as recovery. Ignoring those calories from more vigorous and/or longer duration training can be detrimental in that it can create a deficit that is overly large which can lead to all kinds of unpleasant things down the road. Ignoring those calories for something like going for a walk or other light activity probably isn't that big of a deal given the expenditure isn't going to be all that large and lite activity doesn't really require a whole lot in terms of recovery. Really depends on what you're doing for exercise. One of the reasons I do this is because I have no idea if those calorie burned are accurate for me - one person's vigorous is another person's moderate I figure. MFP always adds the calories burned due to exercise to the calorie "goal" but I always ignore it and stick to the same 1800 per day. That might work, but it isn't sustainable.Īlso there will be days when you are extra hungry and go over your "calorie alottment" and other days when you aren't so hungry and are below your "calorie alottment". Humans aren't supposed to live life white knuckling through hunger pangs because we are trying to lose weight.
If you are hungry, truly hungry, not craving, then EAT!! If you have calories left at the end of the day but you aren't hungry, you don't have to eat! Our bodies will tell us what we need if we just listen to it. I am finding that if I am eating a healthy diet (bagels are not part of a healthy breakfast for me) then I have to listen to my body's hunger signals and know the difference between real hunger and just wanting to eat because I am bored. I use 12mm and assume the calorie burn it gives me is over estimated.
Exercise? I run and my pace is around 13 minute miles. Which do you pick when you track? You guess which yours might be. The top 4 results range from 180 to 380 calories. For example, I just put in a search for bagel. MFP is a great tool especialy for a free tool but accuracy is not great.
