Burning calories/HRM

roguex_1979

I think this topic is done to death, but I wanted to get my say in all of this, just because I am angry and want to vent:

After reading how you need a HRM to acurately tell you how many cals you've burned and how it takes into account things like height, age, weight etc etc, but gym machines don't take into account 15mins worth of warming up etc etc, I have decided, be I damned for saying it or find that my progress is slowed...

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!

Some say MFP is inaccurate, some say their HRM is inaccurate, some say the machines at the gym are inaccurate. EVERYTHING IS INACCURATE!!!

From now on, if I want to eat my so-called exercise calories, I will. And if I don't, I won't. I don't do enough exercise to warrant having to eat the calories back. I try to go to the gym 5 times a week and I do very little, but it's better than nothing and it's working for me at the moment. I will go by what the treadmill tells me and what MFP tells me and take an average and if I'm delusional to think that it's accurate, I will make sure I don't eat all the calories back. And if you think I'm delusional not to eat back all my exercise calories and I will go into 'starvation mode', so be it.

ARGH!

There, rant on this subject over.
