When I plugged in my bmf after work i zoned in on when I was standing outside in 8 degree weather and it seems like as soon as I stood outside my mets jumped? Has any one else seen this??

Also what about when your sitting in a warm car? or a hot car like almost sweating?

Ideas???

    Kinda thinking you do burn more cals in cold weather. I was surprised at the number of calories I burned yesterday (just over 2800) cuz it was kinda a lazy day for me - no exercise, too many hours in the office (getting start on taxes), and barn was cleaner than usual (another benefit of cold weather - 2nd day of that). It's not the first time I've been surprised at the number of winter calories I burned.
    Don't spend much time sitting around (let alone in a hot car) to know about that part.

    id say BMF is working as designed. You got out somewhat bundled up for a walk in 40 degree weather... body warms up... after 40min..some sweating..METs are going up at that point..
