I've been wearing my heart rate moniter all day (the FT7), and from what it tells me, my typical activity (walking to class, standing, cooking, just my regular routine, I didn't use it for gym activity) runs me around 400 calories per two hours. My average heart rate was 100bpm exactly. so... minus 8 hours of sleep, I burn 3,200 calories a day by just existing?! that can't be right. I figured by wearing it all day I could get a more accurate level on how many calories I should be eating a day but. I can't possibly need 3,000 calories to maintain my existance (I'm 5'3 and 155lbs and female btw). help?!

    A HRM is not suppose to worn all day. It only actually give you a correct reading when your HR is elevated so I would not trust the reading from it if you wear it all day. If you want something to mnoitor your daily burn then you will have to invest in a Fit Bit or Body Bugg.
