Well I guess I should wear my HRM all day to see what my BMR really is!
I have went to two different websites to calculate my BMR and one says 2000 and the other says 1504!!!! That is a HUGE difference. Granted most of us do more than just sit down ALL day, but still....that seems really low.
At 2000 calories that is 20 calories for 15 minutes of normal resting body functions. Subtract another 5 calories if you calculate the 1500....EESH!
Weird thing is, they say the more fit you are, the more calories you burn resting. But what I don't understand is that when you are an athlete your BMR drops down into the 50-60 range..and to burn more calories you need a higher heart rate.
If anyone knows much about this formula and trying to figure out what your body really needs a minimum of, I am ALL ears! (well eyes on here)
