@heybales I just noticed in both the Android and Web Fitbit app that there is now an option to enter a maximum heart rate. I wonder if changing it might affect activity calories!
I'm sure someone in this thread knows if there in easy way (other than manually looking through the phone app for maximum recorded heart rates and/or running uphill till you collapse) to guess one's actual maximum heart rate?
I recall ones mentioning that too.
I was curious if it would actually effect the calorie burn, as in used in calculations, or merely to have the default set HR zones tweaked.
Merely need someone to set low - do a workout at set HR.
Set it high - do exact some workout HR.
Compare.
As to setting it - there are several sub-maximal efforts that can give a clue through calculations.
If you remember a short hard workout and really pushed it at the end, HRmax probably 5-10 higher.
If long workout and pushed it hard, probably more like 15-20 higher.
HRmax tests are normally fast ramping because you can't keep up the pace as it goes higher for long periods of time.

Garmin has always, or at least for the nearly 3 years I've been using their products, had heart rate as one of the entries. I am pleased to note I guesstimated mine in a sensible fashion!0 -

Second clue for the grey and red, the dark red print is a very famous two word Doctor Who quote. I now own three Doctor Who dresses, fyi. And a skirt.
I will admit that I've never watched Doctor Who, so have absolutely no idea.... The dresses look good on you though @Nony_Mouse, and the bag is cute!
(I've never watched any Star Wars or Lord of the Rings either)
You really, really should watch Doctor Who. And Star Wars (also have a Star Wars dress from the same shop, same style as these two). Lord of the Rings, read the books, much, much better. Unless you want to see the forest I could see from my bedroom window in basically inner city Wellington (and have walked in many times), which appears early on in the first film, so you don't have to suffer too much.
@GottaBurnEmAll will guess the Doctor Who print straight off. Bet ya.
I can't see the dress well enough, but it looks like Weeping Angels, so I'd have to guess "The Angels have the phone box".
You look darling.
She said two words, so “don’t blink” would be my guess.
ETA: My kitten is named River.
Ah, I missed the two word clue. You're likely right. I was barely awake when I was reading this the first go 'round.
Yep, Weeping Angels, don't blink. They don't have either dress on their website yet, must be new arrivals, I'll take a better pic of the prints later
OMG guyz, I ate 200 cals over the last three days and gained half a kilo!!! Should I cut back to 1200 and eat no carbs???
Jks, good morning, pms bloat.
See, the problem is that by acknowledging CICO and the scale, you've somehow put yourself in the position of ill health. Obviously, when you're keto all energy balance theory goes out the window. You just focus on keeping insulin as low as possible and you'll magically lose all t3h fatz and gain power via ketones and cure cancer and end the beetus and obesity, because bacon and butter together fried in coconut oil with a shot of heavy cream and MCT and beef tallow drizzled with almond flour is just the best.
The zealotry needs to gtfo lol. I've graduated to twitter debating lchf/banting fanatics just to do something with my fingers. I'm also running on 3.5 hours of sleep because I procrastinate with passion when writing academic papers.
Apparently I can cure my auto-immune disorder by cutting out grains and added sugar.
Guess which two things are basically non-existent in my diet.
Oh, wait, I had gelato in my shake last night, so have broken the no added sugar streak that wasn't actually deliberate.
Never fear, I am eating enough sugar to cover us both currently. Had chocolate orange for breakfast. Because Christmas. And anti-oxidants........
Oh, yeah, I forgot about the pretty much daily chocolate. But cacao. It's a health food. So are truffle balls now, just re-label them as energy balls and voila.
God I love Terry's chocolate oranges. The Whittaker's orange dark choc I have is pretty much the same (though I should do a side by side, for science), but lacking the appearance of an orange. Which automatically turns it into fruit, therefore that sugar is just fine.
Except Terry's is milk and your dark. Both good in their own ways.
Hmmm, I thought you could get a dark as well. Milk chocolate is not health food. Gawd, how do you expect to get anywhere??

Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries. These were the only berries on offer (which is normal). Cherries (which are obviously not a berry) were acquired yesterday. I also got a corn cob. I do not remember the last time I had corn on the cob. May even drag out the bbq for that!
Speaking of Christmas must haves, two of the things I always make on Christmas Day are taboulleh and potato salad. Taboulleh made the usual way is obviously an issue because of the bulgar wheat, though I could sub quinoa. Both of these salads have tomatoes in them though, which are on my 'do not eat' list (though I did have a punnet of cherry tomatoes a couple of months ago as a trial and didn't have any apparent issues). Then there is pavlova. I'm pretty sure it's actually required by law in NZ to have pavlova on Christmas Day. Egg whites. I also did an egg trial a couple of months back without apparent issue.
So naturally I am debating whether I want to take the risk of having these things![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Do you know, I didn't have pavlova. Actually, it would be more accurate to say I don't remember having pavlova because my memory is fooked so I might have done and not know.1 -

Don't push the food triggers so close to a flare is what I'm thinking. You could try the taboulleh with roasted red peppers subbed for the tomatoes. I've also made it with buckwheat since I fail at cooking quinoa.
As for the pavlova? Eh, I get the tradition, but just eat the cream and fruit and save yourself the misery.1 -

Ha, yes. I witnessed it in real time. Noakes quoted me in response to my tweet to someone else that brought up insulin out of nowhere when he was "disgusted" with Alan's reply to Tim. Then I ended up having a circular debate with Noakes because he's equating the concept of "high carb diets" to packaged/refined treats, where my argument is that his definition should be the forefront of context when he's using that term because I have yet to see the case where fruit and vegetable carbs alone caused insulin resistance if they were in a eucaloric or hypocaloric state.

Vintage sizing would be a lot smaller than modern. I collect (and use) vintage patterns. UK to vintage is two sizes difference (and so alarmingly 4 sizes with US). If you're anything above a 28" waist you're probably going to be grading patterns that are vintage.
Also, I concur on the jandals, anything with a toe post, what are those people's feet made of that they don't destroy them!?2 -

Yeah, see I thought that about the sizing too, but that's what they say. I think it's kind of dumb to have someone my size as the smallest size you cater for, but hey...like obviously I'm small, but I'm not extra small.1 -

I strongly suspect they're fibbing. Those are also not patterns you'd see, they're very much modern shapes, at a push maybe 90s. And even then, sizing was still smaller than in the 90s. I have no doubt if I still had my size 10 jeans from back then (thank the heavens I don't) I wouldn't be getting a calf let alone a whole leg into them!
Edit to add: there's a repro company here who do use vintage sizing. Online they sell by measurements, in the shop they have size labels. A lot of women get right miffed when they have to buy in store or receive a garment two sizes bigger than they think they are.0 -

Ah, see, sizing here was the opposite. I have size 12 dresses bought early '90s that would absolutely be sold as 10s now. I think this was done to bring us in line with Aus. Or something. I may or may not have my awesome purple jeans still. They were a 10, and I highly doubt I could get them done up now, at least if I didn't want to cut off circulation to my lower body!0 -

I was going to suck it up and buy some the other week, for something easy if I'm wandering around outside at work (hot asphalt) or at home (occasional prickles in grass), but also because my skin doesn't entirely agree with shoes and socks in summer. Luckily I was able to find a pair of cheap(ish) strappy sandals instead that I actually don't hate. These I can also wear at times other than the above and not have to feel like I'm curling my toes to hold the damn things on. I'm not good with flat shoes in general, unless they're Doc's, Chuck T's, or running shoes.
I was made to wear jandals for a while as a child because my second toes overlapped my big toes, I think this is part of my hatred.0 -

It all started because the BJSM has been taken over by zealots who apparently think the amount of followers you have is meaningful data.
Ha, yes. I witnessed it in real time. Noakes quoted me in response to my tweet to someone else that brought up insulin out of nowhere when he was "disgusted" with Alan's reply to Tim. Then I ended up having a circular debate with Noakes because he's equating the concept of "high carb diets" to packaged/refined treats, where my argument is that his definition should be the forefront of context when he's using that term because I have yet to see the case where fruit and vegetable carbs alone caused insulin resistance if they were in a eucaloric or hypocaloric state.
ETA: This was also the root cause of my paper writing procrastination
Oh, now I have to go back and read it in full.
Because my *favorite* LCHF strawman is high carb = packaged/refined treats
The entire LCHF narrative is goal post shifting and strawmanning the hell out of rebuttals. Tim said that humans are exposed to "high carb" since CONCEPTION... that sounds truly difficult.

I. can't. even.
Trufax. I low carbed (moderately low, no starches, but ate berries) through my last pregnancy. Just veg, dairy, and meat (was still a meat eater then).
But see, then there's that pesky breast milk thing. That stuff is just brimming with da ebil sugarz.2 -
@anubis609 Well, I mean, if you're going to be picky and expect people to define terms and such..
So I guess American fetuses are showing evidence of exposure to Doritos and Frosted Flakes? Weird.3 -
I had to come back to this because....
Okay, my poor little fetus is exposed to da ebil carbs.
After the little darling is born I, being a good mom, feed him/her a healthy diet.
Say the kid grows up to be a health nut and keeps eating a well balanced diet.
According to our good friend Tim there, too bad, so sad, he was exposed in utero to da ebil carbs, so he/she is doomed to have insulin resistance no matter what and will just HAVE to eat low carb because reasons.
Do I have this BS straight?4 -

Actually, it would be more accurate to say I don't remember having pavlova because my memory is fooked so I might have done and not know.
You need to come back then.
Jandals (which I hate with a firey passion).
I had to Google what Jandals were, I've never heard that term. I live in thongs (flipflops) pretty much year round, I even take my walks in them. I don't even own a pair of sneakers

So I can blame my mother?? (not that I have IR, but, y'know, if I did it's clearly her fault)
Speaking of mother, I just found a pair of trousers that were hers in my search for the purple jeans (which I obviously finally gave up on at some point). Genuine 60s, she had them around the time my parents got married, when she was 18. They fit, though way tight around my upper legs, I guess women in the 60s didn't have quads. I should probably not tell her this. I always loved them, though even if they did fit comfortably probably wouldn't wear b/c I just can't do high waists.0
