Hey there, just started using my bodymedia fit again today, had it awhile back, used it, stopped for a couple months and now im using it again.

Stats: 6'1" male, 232lb, 21


Im concerned with how much my bodymedia fit says im burning in a day, just took it off to sync, and it has me at 3813 cals burned (from 6:00am-8:43pm so far), now when I was around 300lb or 270ish I could believe a burn of around 4000-5000 when I was active.

Now, I would say im more fit now anyways as Im working my way down, my days are pretty busy, im on my feet all day literally, walking around from office to office doing deployments etc, only really sitting down for lunch and some small misc periods of time off and on.

So was wondering if there are any other guys out their who are around my stats with the same cals burned? or thoughts?

Thanks.

    I'm not a guy but I am 5' 7" and about 178lbs and I can burn about 2700-3600 calories a day (Midnight till midnight) and this is my off season for running. Which I will be getting back into shortly so yours most likely would be accurate.

    Hmmm oh ok, well that does make it sound more reasonable than.

    Thanks.

    I'm finding my numbers much higher than I got from my fitbit/HRM. Had it a week and not lost yet but too early to criticise yet.
