    Your calorie burn for strength training is super high. You can't use a HRM for strength training, it will not give you an accurate number.
    Um yes it will. I use my Heart Rate Monitor for cardio and all weight lifting sessions.

    No, it won't. The relationship between caloric burn vs cardio is not the same as caloric burn vs strength training. HRMs are only good for steady state cardio work.
    hmm ok. While I do agree that I burn more calories during cardio, I still get a good or fairly accurate count during weight training. Well I will continue to use my HRM for all my workouts......

    Seems like you are on the right track. I too use the TDEE -20 percent.
    So you dont have to log in your calories burned or eat them back since the TDEE formula already take into consideration your activity level. For example, My TDEE -20 is 2100. I eat 2100 with or without workingout. I workout about 5-6 times a week. A mix of outdoor fitness classes and heavy weight lifting. If you scheme through my profile, I will log my workouts but only as 1 calorie burned.
    Also I noticed you arent tracking other macros, only calories. I'm a firm believer that not all calories are created equal. Right now I am eating 50% carbs/ 25% proteins/ 25% fats. This seems to be working well with me.


    Thanks :)! And yeah I haven't been paying to much attention to those (carbs, fats), I thought MFP would put those up as long as I don't "quick add". How did you decide your percent got those .. And I def will be paying more attention to my Tdee!!

    If you don't want to believe me, thats ok. But just google "do heart rate monitors work with strength training" and you can read all the studies and papers and realize that HRMs do NOT work with strength training.

    Not all heart rate increases are the same. They are not caused by the same thing. They do not result in the same calorie burns.
