  • I usually ride about 10k every evening on my stationary bike just to keep my legs supple after my ride out on the roads but I never add them to my total, I could not ride today due to hospital appointments so I just did 50k on it and it just is not the same as a being out in the fresh air spitting out bugs and dodging…

  • I had a cycling road safety course in the UK as a child and the first thing the instructor did was to take off my mirror, when I asked him why he positioned it so that it dazzled me in the sun and asked me to try to keep my eyes open !!! Mirrors on cycles are more trouble than they are worth and if you are that nervous on…

  • I use a Garmin cycle computer with a chest strap heart monitor and Mfp's numbers are very close to what that tells me, if you are only eating half the calories back then I would use those numbers. Try it for a few weeks and if you find that you are not losing then simply adjust the numbers down slightly until you do start…

  • I have tried quite a few of them over the last few months and they all vary greatly, the best bit of advice I had was to use it for a month and if you are losing weight then you know that the numbers are pretty close, if you are not losing anything then drop the calories slightly until you get the desired loss
  • On the question of accuracy how does the watch measure your heart rate without a chest strap?
  • The point that I was trying to make is MFP have already allowed you approx 50 calories per hour even if you are doing nothing so you need to deduct that from anything your hrm is giving you otherwise you will be claiming back the calories twice especially if you are wearing it for long periods of time, they are not really…
  • Bit better today but paying for it now with some pretty bad back pain :( http://connect.garmin.com/activity/235534416 Count: 20 Activities Distance: 427.61 mi Time: 32:15:49 h:m:s Elevation Gain: 15,144 ft Avg Speed: 13.3 mph Avg HR: 122 bpm Calories: 31,498 C Max Distance: 72.46 mi
  • even if the hrm is accurate remember that mfp have already allowed you calories for your normal routine in those two and a half hours so if you are on 1200 cals per day you should subtract 125 cals from that total

  • Good to hear, I eat loads of them every week and would never want to give them up, I usually have one or two for breakfast before riding my bike for a few hours at a time and they seem to give me huge amounts of energy

  • I always wear plastic sunglasses when riding to keep the bugs out of my eyes as they seem to be attracted to them !!
