Exercising adds bonus calories?
I'm exercising and my calories get bumped up because I worked out....what's that all about? I've never adjusted my diet because I work out before. I'm not doing lifting yet- just cardio. My cal's are supposed to be 1200 a day but w/ working out it's like 1500....that seems like a bit much. Please help =)

I'm new. Just started using MFP yesterday... so I feel like I'm still getting used to the format and understanding how to maximize the website.

If you can't afford a HRM...
I just got a sales promotion from K-Mart, and they have a lot of heart rate monitors that are on sale for less than $30. They aren't Polars, but for the price, they may be a great starter HRM for those who want one but can't spring for the more expensive ones right now...I'm pasting the links for the ones I saw...hopefully…

Heart Rate Monitor Question for those w a Polar
I got an F6 and I love it, only I have a recurring problem of loosing the heart rate signal any time my arm is fully outstreatched in any direction. Well, not any time, but a majority of the time.

Turbo Jammers 12/29-1/4
Welcome Jam Junkies! I did CP today with my new HRM...I think it's broken, it beeped the whole time...oh wait that's cuz I was OVER my zone the WHOLE time. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

HRM High zone vs Moderate

Holy S#!t: Discrepancy between HRM and MFP calories burned
I had been logging my Slim in 6 workouts as circuit training, and MFP said that I burned over 500 calories. I wore my HRM today to do the Ramp it Up! workout and it said I only burned 215.:noway: :noway: I was eating most of those phantom calories that MFP was giving me! That's probably why my weight loss has stalled…

How can I figure out my calories burned with my workout?
I have a BowFlex, and LOVE IT! But, this site as well as Sparkpeople.com allows me to log my exercise, but doesn't tell me how many calories I am burning. I don't expect it to be accurate, but at least a close low ball number would be great. Does anyone know how I might be able to figure it out? :ohwell: Thanks so much for…
