Sometimes after a 30 minute session of lifting, my Versa 2 will say I've burned nearly 300 calories. Is this number trustworthy? How is it calculated? For example, today I lifted for 00:30:04 and supposedly burned 322 Cals.

It is based on heart rate.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

So it would be a safe assumption to say that it's fairly accurate?
