Does anyone else have any comparisions? Have you compared how many calories you actuall burn to what other calculators say?
Well, back when I used TDP to track things this is an example of my exercise:
Elliptical trainer: general 20.0 -342.0
Stair Step Machine - general 25.0 -404.0
Weight lifting: light (free weights, nautilus, universal) 50.0 -269.0
So, 1015 calories in roughly 2 hours of exercise. This was pretty average.
Since wearing my bodybugg my calories burned in a similar 2 hours exercise session is usually 600-700.
SO, significantly less in my case than the "other calculators". I was definitely not getting the deficit I wanted and was in fact operating at maintenence...as the scale showed!
