  • Most of you seem to be missing a major point here... Exercise changes your body!!! Start exercising and you will change the way your body uses calories. For most people, I am talking about those of us who are not marathon runners, exercise starts to build muscle again. It also starts to increase our metabolic rate, lower…
    in exercise calories...do you eat them? Comment by cgwhite February 2011
  • I believe that you ought to take off your BMR calories from any exercise that you do... But the big question is going to be; Is the exercise calculator that you are using correct. I always wear a Zephyr HxM heart monitor when exercising and you will be surprised how different the figure is from what an online calculator…
    in Question for those who DO eat their exercise calories... Comment by cgwhite February 2011
  • I am going to relight this thread... I believe that you have the wrong end of the stick here... Starvation starts to kick in when you eat 1200 calories less than your BMR. NOT less than 1200 calories per day total. That cannot be right as everyone is not the same. A 400 lb person would not survive on just 1200 calories per…

  • Thought that I ought to throw one of the best workouts in for burning this many calories, regardless of size!, go play golf and either carry or pull your clubs. I weigh just under 200 lbs and in a 4 hour round of golf will burn at least 1100 calories. It is enjoyable as well. I can't say that for running on a treadmill for…
    in How do you burn 3500 calories exercising in one week? Comment by cgwhite February 2011
  • If you have lost a stone in a month you have reached "starvation level". You should not be aiming to loose more than 2 lbs per week. i.e. half a stone in a month. By dieting, and only being 18 years old, your body has reached the point that it has decided that you are starving it and will in fact start storing fat as fast…

  • Hello everyone, I have just bought a Zephyr HxM strap to use with "Sportstracklive" on my Android phone. The beauty of "Sportstracklive" is that it uses the Karvonen method of determining calorie burn during excercise. This method requires you to measure your "Resting Heart Rate RHR". Do this in bed in the morning before…
