Calories by average heart rate

luvbwfc · November 2011

I use this site to calculate my exercise calories.

I get my average heart rate from my HRM. I get quite high calorie estimates - about 800 for 50 mins at an average of 153. Would this seem OK for a 109KG male?

I use this one. Maybe you could cross check.

Don't know but I tried it and that is exactly what the elliptical gave me last week! 239 for 20 minutes whereas MFP gave me 162. I will still always take the lower number though to be on the safe side, not that I usually eat back my exercise calories.

Edited to add the shapesense one gave me 172 so quite a big difference, and nearer MFP.

Just going by what my HRM tells me, that seems reasonable. A 153 average is pretty high in terms of calorie burn, especially over 50 mins.

The one with the V02 max agrees. The one without goes for 1006 calories! Nice to get a little confirmation that 2 different sites get the same.
