All,

So if I suspect that the user input for calories burned is not accurate.... can I create my own entry and use that? For example, If I jog for 4 miles at a 10 minute mile, and I feel I burned 400 calories, can I enter that as a exercise and use that all the time?


Experts devised a method that they believe is the best way of calculating total calorie burn per mile. Take 0.75 x (your weight in pounds). Multiply this total times the number of miles ran, and it accurately indicates total loss. For example, a jogger who weighs 150 pounds and runs four miles would burn roughly 450 calories. We get this number by taking 150 x 0.75, which equals 112.5, then multiplying by four, since the jogger ran four miles.

    I use a HRM when I go out and just use that reading. I don't think you can add a new exercise but you can change calories burned.

    You can add whatever exercises you like, or find a similar exercise and adjust the calories burned to whatever you believe it to be. I usually just use the info on calories burned as a very rough guideline.

    I'm so glad you posted that! I never noticed that you could add exercises until now! :blushing:
