BMR

[TaniSS]

How do you find out average BMR on fitbit? Cz I burned like over caloris 2day. Do I surat my active calories (time I spent at gym) from the total number?

[TaniSS]

Over 2000*

[TaniSS]

Or does fitbit automatically show the deficit calories to lose weight? Cz I'm eating 1300cals a day bt I'm exercising more so I have room to eat. Is this correct? I dnt knw if I worded that correctly....

[eandersen]

yes calories in versus calories out. But you have to measure how much you should be eating to maintain or lose. 3,500 is one pound. I look at extra earned calories or lost weight as in the bank and I want to build that up. Hope that helps.

So are the earned calories defined as calorie deficit or is that automatically caculated by fitbit hence our calorie limit?

[TaniSS]

Also, if I went over my calorie limit, say today, I went over. Shud I aim to loose that calorie 'in' the next day B4 consuming more?

[eandersen]

It list the number of calories you should have each day if you put the information in on how much you want to loose. If you go over one day just get back on track the next day. 

[TaniSS]

Oh . . . so I shudnt try to loose what I went over by?

Probably not, the chacne of yo-yoing is extreme, your over indulge, then you'll try and starve yourself, then you'll crack and eat a block of cheese, and then you'll be worse off.

Your body resets so just go as you should and try to avoid the slip ups. Everyone had slip ups so don't worry that was yesterday and today is a new day 🙂

It is automatically added into your allotted calories. If you eat those calories plus what is says, you are over eating.

You can see that on the days you get more steps and etc that your allotted calories go up.

[TaniSS]

Bt won't I still lose weight if say I'm only allowed like 1300cal and I exercised and gained an extra 250cal, I'm still guna lose weight even if I did eat back that 250 right?

[DominicJ · Accepted solution]

Yep, I frequently have to go for a run to earn some calories for my tea.

[eandersen · Accepted solution]

it will raise your metabolism is you exercise but you will do better if you just bank those extra calories.

[TaniSS]

Ohhh okay awesome :] cz I jst left 500 calories extra that I earned today 😛 that's what I was confused abt. Haha. So the charge HR automatically factors in all my calories burned minus the bmr right? It doesn't include the bmr on mfp does it?

[eandersen]

I have the flex not charge - hope someone can answer that who has the charge otherwise under help forums you can pick the charge and can find lots of question/answer about it.

I found this to offer:   For each 3500 cal you eat in excess of expenditure you store approximately 1 pound of body fat.  Pure fat  is worth 9 cal per gram ( a pound of it 450 grams), then would store 4150 cal.   A pound of body fat is not pure fat though it contains water protein and other materials ( hense the lower calorie value,)
