Yeah its a calorie count across the board ie bmr + exercise so its going to be inflated compared to just exercise calorie burn.Im still convinced it measures hand movements(as mentioned above) as footsteps!

Dont ask how i think this....ahem!

Handy tool to have i was hoping it was legit so i could justify feeding the fat kid in me by eat more cakes.

Back to the protein bars for me then!

 

Be carefull with those trackers ,my darling literally gone crazy with those things measuring and counting,and measuring again and again,I tell her we need more sex not counting mystic things.

A marathon runner burn about 2500Kcal per race,do you know how he feel next day,so if you burn over 4000 Kcal by manually working I am afraid you gonna die next day🤣So if you burning just 4770 calories you are lazy sod🤪Good manual work about 50 to 100 Kcal per hour 

 

But they will typically only do 1 and sit about a few months before the next, day in, day out you'd get used to the work.

Reminded me of this guy who did a marathon every day in 2022 for charity.

I haven't got a clue how many calories I burn, or even how many I eat.

But I eat like a horse (easily a double portion compared with friends/family), and don't put on any weight, so clearly the stuff is either getting burnt off or shat out :vollkommenauf:

I've just asked my daughter how many calories she burnt in last summer's 100km ultra; her Garmin says 6800kcal and 130,000 steps

That possible and close to reality , so Garmin just predicted that because there is research and information available that how those watches works, I just walk my dog counted steps I did 2050 , my phone happily counted 3600🤣 I only trust them at pulse counting and elevation and atmospheric pressure that’s it🤞Calories burning just average prediction nothing else and can not be taken seriously.

about 100 a mile + a littte for going faster, at 62 miles that sounds right

 

 

For running this is all done in a concentrated burst, 1 hour, 6 miles (sort of average 'man on the street' pace), 600 calories, if you worked all day at that pace that is about 4000 calories (run at a 'decent' pace, that is about 900 calories an hour+, 6000 a day at that work rate). Working at a slower pace all day plus the 2000 we burn anyway could easily pass that every day
