Go you!</p> <p>I always use the lowest/smallest number, because I figure that's the safest one to use. If I actually burned more calories, I'll see that with additional loss at the end of the week. If not, I'm still sticking to my plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-number-is-accurate#post-1762363 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:18:48 +0000 jhd 1762363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go with the lowest number to be safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-number-is-accurate#post-1762359 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:17:26 +0000 loveisstrange 1762359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, went for a jog/walk with my heart rate monitor for the first time today..... and it told me I burned 1118 calories. Yeah, highly doubtful. Although, my heart rate does run pretty high due to a heart condition I have. My normal resting heart rate is over 100. It has a chest strap, so it's contiuously taking my heart rate every 10 seconds. Realistically, at a brisk walk my heart rate sits around 180.</p> <p>MapMyRun says 569 calories. MFP says 447. The calculator on Runners World says 561.</p> <p>Trying to figure out what to log. :/ Im thinking the MapMyRun number is probably the most accurate since it factors in elevation, etc and my heart rate monitor is on crack. </p>
