How accurate is my heart rate monitor for calories burned? Is my heart rate elevated?
I have a Polar FT7M heart rate monitor which I use anytime I exercise. I walk the dog 5k, 4-5 times a week. According to my monitor, I have never burned less than 510 calories doing this. MFP estimates the calories at around 300. Now, I know the heart rate monitor should be more accurate. But am I really burning that many…
