If i would be eating the calories my Versa Lite is showing i could, i'd get really fat really fast.
Now i am aware fitness trackers in general aren't medical grade, and aren't meant to be fully accurate,
and i find that the exercise calories measured to be pretty close to accurate.
BUT
outside of those activities the tracker seems to be grossly overestimating the calorie burn.
Its also showing me a pretty low heart rate,
and i'm thinking it is what is skewing the calories burned.
This is just my hypothesis so please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong about this but:
The tracker relies on Heart rate for calorie calculations right?
so for example if it measures your resting heart rate to be lower than it actually is, then your actual resting heart rate would be closer to fat burning zone, thus even when you are doing something mild its thinking you are doing something more intense resulting in more calories being measured than you actually are burning.
is my thinking wrong?
