DigiFit is then connected to MFP, which then adds that 385 to my 1500Kcal giving me a daily Goal of 1885kcal.…

Does Swimming = HIIT ?
Hi, I use a MIO Fuse HRM connected to the iCardio App on my mobile to track my HR.

Questioning Heart Rate Zones (Fat Burn vs An/Aerobic)
I have been doing quite well. Started at 300lb in Feb and now on 245lb. Target 200lb. I religiously use MFP. After 2 months I decided to escalate to a HRMonitor + iCardio/DigiFit.

weighing scale numbers
A:42, S:M, H:6'0", W:124.5kg, BMI:37.5. I'm hoping to loose around 1.5lb/W. But include a lot of Resistance in my routine. How does that affect the number on the scale? Fat reduction combined with muscle increase. Does it slow down the number you see on the scales?

Empty Stomach
I do not eat before or during my 90 min exercise in the morning. I believe that I burn around 1000cal each session and the objective is that my body funds this from Stored Energy as opposed to from Breakfast. ACCURATE? Of course I consume a ton of water.
