in Introduce Yourself
Can anyone help me. I use the body-media band and it is synced with my fitness pal. Every morning when I get up the body media website states that I have burned 424 calories. How is this possible? I have heard you burn calories when you sleep, so is that how it monitors itself. Confused.

Thanks

    It may be an average of what you burn just walking around.

    Yes, simply by being alive you burn calories--that's what is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR. The BodyMedia tracks EVERY calorie you burn--from existing to twitching to walking to real exercise and back again--so waking up with it showing a burn is completely normal. :)
