Ok this is what it said:
Total Exercise Time: 8 hrs 30 minutes
Calories: 1417
I spent 1 hr 3 min in my zone, which I have set to 65-75% of my max heart rate.
I did some walking, weight training, 15 min of HIIT on treadmill, and a little running around like a chicken with no head at work. The rest of that time was spent bsing, cooking, cleaning, and working on a product for my side business.

Hey Necia!! I was wondering the same thing sometimes cuz when I walk to the gym, lift & walk home -- even walking beside Amtrak lines (which interfere with my monitor so there's no reading) I still get a 400-500 cal reading....
I usually plug my activities into fiday.com, but according to fitday I burn over 2,000 cals a day & I selected "dead" as my daily activity....

seems reasonable.....
take bodyweight...divide by 2.2 and multiply by 24 and then .9

so...for me......210 divided by 2.2 times 24
=
2290
which happens to be right at 11x bodyweight...hence the recommendation for 10-12x cals whwen dieting

Shadow,
Is that formula for how many calories one should consume daily? My question was regarding whether the amount of calories burned throught out the day are accurate on the hrm. Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing here.
Btw, at the gym I was told to take my ideal weight and multiply that by 13 and the resulting # is the maximum calories I should consume in a day.

no.....if you wear the monitor it calculates activity based on Heart Rate....thats is how many cals you burn in a day.....you burn cals all day long....
typically on a formula, its baselined as if you were lying in bed all day....then you factor in activity etc.
but since you have your on duirng the day, the activity is already accounted for
Ideal weight??
....never ever base cals on a "weight" that you arent currently at
