Just a question....when you put in your weight into your HRM ( w/ chest strap), would someone that weighs more or less burn the most calories? Two people same exact height, same exact excercise, but one is bigger than the other, would it matter?

If height and heart rate are the same and the weight is different the heavier person will burn more calories.0

Here's a thread for you from May on this very topic: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/243939-do-fat-people-burn-more-calories-during-exercise
The heavier person is definitely going to burn more calories.0 -
its kinda like if the smaller one was wearing a weighted back pack to even out their weights...then i think they would both burn the same...it just cuz the bigger person is carrying more weight...which would make their heart work harder i believe...0
