Got a new HRM - Even more confused about calories burnt.
So I got a new HRM (Timex T5J031) and it has a feature to track calories burnt. I've used it a couple times and each time it's said I've burned more calories than I had in the past for similar activities. To make matters worse I'm getting 4 different numbers from 3 websites and manually calcualting using a formula.…
