    That's waaaaaaay too many calories. Resting HR does not determine calorie burn. If that's your resting hr, please see a cardiologist.

    And a normal adult heart rate is between 60 and 100 BPM so don't worry either but a check up might nor hurt

    6000 calories ...heheheheh

    Here are a couple articles to read--they include things that can elevate resting hr like smoking and caffeine. My cardiologist said 50-75 for target rhr. For middle aged women, a resting hr of 76 or higher indicated a possible increased risk of heart attack. And I have a family history on both sides. :neutral: Something to think about!

    A resting heart rate between 60 and 100 bpm is normal.

    That said I would not use that math to work out your calorie needs. Put your correct stats into MFP and do what it tells you to do.

    Do not use your resting heart rate to determine your calorie burn, it simply doesn't work that way. Find a decent BMR/TDEE calculator and use that.

    By that logic, I should be burning a zillion calories and be uber thin because my hr gets into the 170's and beyond. Yesterday I had an ablation but the doc says he couldn't ablate the entire pathway in the atrium or else I'd need a pacemaker. So I guess in the end I'll only feel a minute difference.

    If your resting heart rate is 100 and beyond, then there's an issue.

    It just doesn't work that way. People with higher heart rates aren't necessarily burning more calories than those with lower. A high heart rate during exercise is an indicator of the work the rest of the body is doing (and that work is burning calories), not the cause of the calorie burning.

    I am certain are mistaken in your accounting. ;)

    If your pulse is really that high at rest, meaning you are sitting on the sofa reading or watching TV, then surely it's much higher with movement, in which case it's time for you to make an emergency room visit. Tell him to check and make sure your heart is doing its job.

    Agreed. It's not normal to have a resting heart rate in the 100s. That's a lot of stress on the heart if it's constant, let alone if moving or exercising.

    My resting heart rate was as high as 140 this summer averaging at 110.... But I had serum iron level of 0 and hemoglobin of 6.3 which explained vthe tachycardia. After 8 iron infusions, 5 units of blood and exercise my rhr is back down to 60.

    Mine was in the 110's with a hemoglobin of 5.3 and a ferritin of 3. I needed 4 units of blood, one of iron, and was on high potency iron for a year. My hemoglobin is staying in the range of 13 now and my rhr is around 60 also (was 63 at my Dr.'s office this morning but it was up because I walked from the waiting room to the exam room just before it was taken.)

    You know those warnings they put onto exercise equipment and in gyms, etc. ...

    SEE YOUR PHYSICIAN
    Before beginning any exercise program or changing your physical activity patterns, you should always consult with your doctor or physician, particularly if you have been inactive, are very overweight, or have or suspect any sort of medical condition that might be worsened by exercise.


    It might be time for a medical consultation to discuss your current health and heart rate before you get into exercise which could really raise your HR.

    Get a complete physical including a ECG.


    And it is highly unlikely you're burning 270 calories per hour just sitting there. I only wish it were that easy! :grin:

    No idea. Never heard of 'nutrition ground' and have no idea what their claim is. But if they are claiming you're burning 270 cal/hour just sitting there not doing anything. Yeah, it's a good bet something is wrong.

    It's closer than 6480 calories in 24 hours for sitting around and doing nothing.


    But we do need a bit more info.
