okay, just spent 3.5 hours staining the fence. HRM says 455 cals burned ... would you count the whole 455 yes/no/why/why not?

Thanks

    Subtract by 1.3 x 210

    Why?

    If you leave your heart rate on all day, are you going to eat all the calories it reads on top of what you're currently eating?

    EDIT: 210 is the number of minutes you had your monitor on ... 1.3 is about how many calories you would have burned per minute had you done nothing.
