Setup Polar HRM for more accurate calorie burn for known BMR

If I have been netting around 1500-1600 on average.... my wt entered into HRM should be around 170...Which I ironically is my goal weight.
But once constantly netting above 1880-BMR and no wt change.. I change it to my current wt and age to 33 yrs old.(4 yrs younger)
How long should I stay above BMR with my net before I reassess?
a month?
You are correct if changing the weight lowers it better than upping the age. Older doesn't drop it as much. But I thought a much more interesting effect to see what age you would be with a suppressed metabolism.
And true, if you can net at the higher BMR that body composition gives you, even better, and younger in that sense.
One week, you don't have much change to effect.
Ok.. so tonight I had my HRM set at 170lbs... and Also wore my BMF....
Walked for an hour and 23 mins.... in zone for 53 mins avg 124bpm...max of 148bpm.
calories...642 per HRM
Per BMF...629.
Before.... they were exact match when walking.
So, with this... I assume I have been burning more than what I thought?
Still having a hard time netting that much... especially when I am walking and or working out. I would have to consume close to 3000 calories or more. That's a tough one.
How does this play into your other ways of ... eating above... and not worrying about eating back calories....it all evens out on rest days?
P.S. To change by age makes it 95!!!! @ 1600bmr0 -

Lighter weight at same HR is burning less calories, so that calorie burn would have been much more at higher weight. So correct you were getting overstated estimate previously. Sounds like a strenuous walk though at that good HR. BMF probably didn't know how much effort.
So that HR is more than the calm daily activity type mentioned before, but still low enough you could get by eating back half of them.0 -

The walk wasn't strenuous. Just a normal walk... Talked to a friend the whole time.
My hr is 85-95 normally... Out of shape.
The hrm would have matched the BMF at 629 before changing the wt. Did I do something wrong?
Still only netted 1570.0 -
I dont get it. Does that mean I'm burning more or less calories than my HRM says I am? I got an age of 35 according to your formula and I'm 25.
edit: I know my max HR. I know that helps the accuracy as well.0 -
will be using this later, thanks!0
