HI EVERYONE
JUST WONDERING HOW ACCURATE THE NUMBERS ARE WHEN YOU GO TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU BURN WHILE EXERCISING.
ANY THOUGHTS?

    They're really not that accurate at all. There can be a huge variance in the numbers, that's why it's really not worth tracking. BMR is a much better approach as you don't have to stress about tracking exercise calories.
