Dear group,
    I've Googled about this, but I've found conflicting answers, so I am
asking for your personal experiences.
    It seems like Fitday guestimates individual bmrs relatively high--at
least mine seems high at "seated work." I've entered "sedentary" instead and
that seems more accurate. But...
    I've been disappointed at how low the exercise values are! For
instance, I'd always thought it was a rule of thumb that a person exerts
approx. 100 cals per mile, but Fitday gives me much less than that. Do they
underestimate the expenditure, or is the 100 cals per mile just an old
wives' tale?
    Two things: first: I've looked on other sites which confirm the 100
c.p.m. burn. Secondly, I know these are all just estmiates, not hard and
fast numbers. I'm just anal about my calculations.
Cheers
