Gaining 0.2 kg a Week
16 May 2019
I'm wondering if anyone finds the various calorie and exercise tracking options accurate or have seen how much they vary!
I'd be interested to know how you all track you calories and what apps you use for your workouts and what sort of results you get.
For example, I've been on here for a while now.
I've set my calorie in-take max to sedentary level, giving me a calorie limit of 1 700, despite doing at least 3 runs a week (a park run and two 7 km training runs, and five 10km races so far, as well as gym at least once a week)
I had bought one of those body metric scales a long long time ago, and the calories output at the end of "reading" my body show around 1500 - 1600 that I should be taking in.
I dismissed that as "an error on a cheap dumb scale".
Then recently my TomTom sport watch screen that I've had for about 3 years went on the blink. So I upgraded to a Garmin VivoActive 3.
Initially I wasn't using that feature (bad experience before), but did decide to run comparisons with my Garmin and TomTom (the watch still works, but I can only select running through remembering the button pushes).
On completing at least two runs, it was clear that while the GPS and HR data was very close, the calories burned was way way waaaaay out with the TomTom over estimating it by some 200 calories!
200! That's my breakfast of a protein shake and a banana.
On the Garmin app, you can track the calories you take in and burn via myFitnessPal.
I reluctantly signed up and set my goal for weight loss and height, weight yadda yadda.
Low and behold, my daily calorie limit? 1500!
Very similar to the scale output.
So now, I have a TomTom which was overestimating by some 100 calories, and fatsecret which was telling me my limit was 200 calories more than it should be.
That's a total of 300 calories folks!
And yes that's alot! esp when you're using that as a guide for every day and on some days you tend to over do the food!
Anyone finding the same sort of discrepancies?
I tried to upload pics of the comparisons between the watches as well as FatSecret and MyFitnessPal - but jpeg, gifs and npg's are apparently not image files.....
