bodymedia fit-please post your resting calories

So i've had mine for one week now. i was reading another post where one guy said his low burn is 2.4cal/min and this got me thinking what is a usual resting calories burn with this device. I'm pretty big guy (6foot 250) and my low is 1.4cal/min. But my normal range when sitting down and doing nothing is 1.5-1.9 cal/min. Id really like to see other people's low and average resting burn if you have one of these please. It would be helpful if you also put your height/weight to compare.

I use bodybugg, damn near the same thing. While sleeping I'm around 0.9-1.1 cal/min. When I'm sitting, I pretty much spike at 1.2 Walking can get me up to 2, and walking up stairs can get me close to (but not past) 5 cal/min. The joys of being a smallish girl (5'3.5" & 142 lbs)!

Edit: your numbers seem low. My bf is just under 200 lbs and 6'1" and his RMR was just calculated by bodpod (supposed to be pretty damn accurate) to be 1.5/min, they say on a sedentary day he would burn 1.9 cal/min

that's what i thought. I am pretty active to (workout 4-5 days a week). Maybe my metabolism is to low. Hopefully others post their numbers so i can see that average for someone my size.
