    Polar HRMs are meant to be used for steady-state cardio so it may be less than accurate for daily activity. That's not what it's designed to do, but you are probably burning in the mid to high 2000s regardless, on days you work.

    Yes, you should.

    How are you calculating your food eaten?

    No that's not realistic.

    HRMs are not designed to give an accurate calorie burn for non-steady state cardio. So no, that is not accurate at all.

    Plus HRMs already count the calories you would have burned during that period at rest (BMR) not additional calories due to a workout. So, even if it were accurate, you would have to back out maintenance calories from the readout.

    HRMs don't count calories. They count heart beats.
