Calories Burned Log
Hello,
I am new to this sight and really love all the information that I am getting here. My question is, when I went in to set up my activity and I chose setting mostly but moving around some it showed for a 24 hour period I would burn about 1900 calories. Is that correct or am I misunderstanding it. That was before I added any exercise that I had done for that day. Thanks guys |
I don't know your stats (age, weight, height) but it sounds reasonable. Doing a google search for BMR or Base Metabolic Rate will lead you to some other sites that will let you compare what Fitday calculated and other versions. I found Fitday to be off slightly for me (about 100 calories/day) so I entered a custom BMR.

Agreed; depending on age and your size, it could be correct. The smaller you are, and the older, unfortunately, the fewer calories you need.
If I add sleep as an activity, Fitday is pretty accurate for me. You can use this one to double check and see if you get a similar number: Calorie Calculator - Daily Caloric Needs |
Calories Burned Log
I know this is going to sound really stupid and I even hate to ask but, wouldn't that mean if I am eating 1500 calories a day, without even any exercise I have burned more calories than I have eaten? :D

I didn't wanna start a new thread because my question is kinda close to the OP's post.
Is there a way to add your own calories burned into the activity log? Or craft a new activity in the log? I plan on doing my own heart rate calculations with a heart monitor. I found a site that does the calculations for me here http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm |
Unfortunately you can't create a custom activity. It would be a great feature though. You might suggest it to the moderators posting under 'Feedback and Support'.
In the mean time, I suggest you find an activity that burns about the same calories per minute and substitute that. |
