? about "burn meter"

HI all,

I am new here ( about a week) I have beendoing well loggin in activities & food. I used the help feature but do not really understand the burn meter.

Anyone care to explain it to me?

What does the burn estaimate mean? It is higher than the burn meter.... I guesss I just don't get it... any help is appreciated!

Hi,

I'm not an expert, but from what I can see the burn meter tells you how many calories your body has burnt up to now in the day, the number creeps up as the day progresses. If you add exercise into the equation, the burn meter goes up faster. The Estimate works out how many calories you will burn in a 24 hour period, based on your height, weight, age and activity level. As long as you are burning more calories than you eat, you should lose weight.

Hope that answers your question

I set my activity level to sedentary and log activities. This way the burn meter is how many calories I burn just existing. As mentioned, the burn meter will increase if you add activities. To lose a pound a week, stay 500 calories under the burn meter.
