    and for people who can't afford HRM what do we do?

    The second option (from above)....... use a percentage of MFP or a machine.... say 75%. Plug that value in consistantly.

    Monitor that value ......if you find your weight loss is slower than you think it should be .... then 75% is too high. If you feel drained, or fatigued (weight loss is faster than normal) .... then 75% is too low. After you keep an eye on things ... you will get a good "feel" for what value works for you.
