Let me give you some numbers based on the website you provided.ġ) My Resting Energy Expenditure is 1824 calories.Ģ) Using the activity level I initially specified on my watch gives me a TEE ofģ) The Resting Calories specified on my activity app are currently 3419 calories. Words have meaning, and in no place in the fitness world are 'resting calories' equivalent to 'estimated energy expenditures.' Perhaps it underestimates your caloric burn from activities your band cannot capture but id rather have this then what is likely double counting occurring.įirst of all-assuming that everything else you said is right, and I don't think it is-this is not the definition of resting calories for anyone else in the world. My limited experience is that if you want to accurately track calorie burn, you should use the lowest multiplier possible (Sedentary) and treat all calories burned according to your fitness band as Active and additive. The Active Calories is a combo of both the implied calories burned from your steps (does not use the HR although my guess is that it does use the level of exercise as an intensity factor) and the calories burned for measured workouts (which does use the HR sensor to get a more accurate picture of calorie burn). 2470 would reflect a multiplier of about 1.55 which is the moderate setting and is the default one it chose for me. The 1800/1900 is probably reflecting the lowest multiplier which is sedentary (~1.2x your RMR/BMR). Yeh see i didnt have an option to choose my activity level because i set it up on the phone.
