    I had it done and found out that I have a very low metabolism. Charts/calculators said I should burn 1700 cals a day with my desk job and no exercise, I really only burn 1134. I was eating too much! So I now have a good HRM and manage my eating with my 1134 cals a day + what I burn in workouts. Best money spent!
