What calories burned numbers should I use? Reading from my new HRM monitor or MFP Exercise log numbers?
What kind of heart rate monitor should I get?
I have hit a plateau and feel that a Heart Rate Monitor will assist in tracking calories burned more precisely than relying on the calculator here. I'm an engineer so I just feel like I need to be more methodical about it all! :) #1 - What heart rate monitors do you all recommend? Would be nice to track calories burned,…
Alcohol and weight loss?
