  • So this has me upping my height by 4", but wouldn't that make my RMR per BMF increase....? I was assuming that it was OVER estimating my cals while sleeping, so this seems opposite of what I was thinking to do- decrease my height so it doesn't over estimate my sleeping cals. HMMM... As my last post says, it has my METs…

  • INTERESTING! my METs are always 0.7-0.9 while I'm sitting or sleeping. Something is not right. I guess it's not working for me... :-(

  • Does anyone ever have activity measure less than 1 MET?
    in Body media band for TDEE Comment by itstheamarie June 2013
  • I wrote them to question the accuracy since my sitting and sleeping have the same values. My goal was to lower my sleeping cal/min to reflect a value closer to Katch. This was the response: "What you need to do is adjust you MET's scale, so that your activity, during your non sleep hours, will better reflect your body and…

  • Mine seems to give me the same cal/min (~1.2) while I'm sleeping as when I am sitting during the day. I find it quite suspicious, because I have been wearing it for a month. That comes out to 1,728 BMR, and my Katch calculated is more like 1,550. I wonder how this reflects the overall measurements, and what should I do…

A lot of sitting during the day.…

  • P.S. I usually only use half a scoop in 1/3 cup of milk for a reg cup.

  • Agreed with HaggisWhisper: dissolve it in milk first (I use plain unsweetened almond milk), then mix it with your coffee. You may have to microwave your coffee if you want it warm after adding the milk mixture. Delish!

  • my BMF is always 150-300 cal higher than my fitbit, but the steps are lower. I'm confused at which one to believe for the inactive times. It's obviously more accurate in that it measures the intensity of your steps ( i.e. stairs vs flat steps). I'm still afraid that my metabolism is ruined from VLCD to use it for creating…
    in Has anyone compared BMF TDEE with Firbit Comment by itstheamarie May 2013
  • I am in a similar situation. I started at 222 and am down to 187. What is all of your intake and activity like?
