Well, I took my data after about 6 months to my doctor and we have adjusted my diet accordingly. And after being here for a bit, I'm triying to hit closer to my TDEE then 1200 since I've been eating less then 1200 for most of my life and have total screwed my body up. As far as your exercise goes, you can adjust your METS level at BM down a bit so that insanity workouts will get picked up more. I learned that I had to move hard to get my vigorours exercise going - running, zumba, things like that. My HITT workouts dont show up like running does unless we are doing alot of moving our arms in jumping jacks or burpees. I like spin classes and I definitely work hard but the only time its ever really registered as more than moderate is when I was really moving my arms as if I was running while sitting up in the saddle. So, the figures aren't golden or perfect but I feel they are better estimates than letting some other site guess my workout level which is what I've had in the past. I do karate on a regular basis and my calories burned are all over the place depending on what we've done in class. Often that hour is about 300 calories. Tonight it was 175 but we weren't moving hard. If I used this site, an hour of karate is about 900+ calories. I'm pretty confident that my armband calories are much truer than this website. You need to play with it some and keep wearing it, I've had mine about a year now and I'm pretty happy with it. Have fun!

I also get the same kind of result, 500-600 cal for 1 hour zumba but only 200 for 30 minutes of circuit workout. You burn more during cardio exercise but during the circuit workout you build muscle and will get more after burn and in the long run increase your metabolism and burn more doing nothing. It's nice to see the big burn during cardio .. but the muscle building is totally worth it in the long run.
