    When you're all referring to the calories burned and thinking it seems too high, as one said, the hrm said she burned 1500 in a day.. realistically, that around spot on for sedentary activity. You want to see that hit at least 2000 in a day since you should be eating 1200-1500 calories a day minimum. It's not just monitoring the excess burned, it's monitoring it all, less the consumption of food.

    No...HRMs are for designed for steady state cardio....not to be worn all day.

    To get an idea of TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) or manitenance.....lots of on-line calculators give a decent estimate.... Scoobysworkshop.com, iifym.com, etc.

    Activity trackers (no heart rate component) are designed to worn all day....these are FitBits and the like.

    Just got it. Question tho . .. is there a app that will sync and log my efforts?

    No syncs for heart rate monitors. After your workout, log the number of minutes & plug in calories.

    If you have an activity tracker......that will sync to MFP. Here's the list.......
