Burn Meter?

Could someone please tell me what the numbers on the Burn Meter mean? Thanks...a new member

Its how many calories you burn a day w/o doing any extra activity. If I workout or do cardio then I add it to my activity log and my burn meter goes up.  For instance, if I don't work out at all today then I will burn 1900 calories at the end of the day.  If I do cardio, say riding the recumbent bike for 30 min and I burn 200 cals, then my burn meter will say that I will burn 2100 at the end of the day.

Hope that helps

hello

i found this really confusing as well, for quite some time!!

there are two sets of numbers . ... the top number in the smaller font is the total you will burn that day.

if you add exercise in the lag, the burn meter will add it to this number.

the bottom number in the bigger text, is counting the calories burned as you are going along ... so at midnight, these two numbers will match.

Monkfish998,

Thank you for your explanation. It's the first I've received that I actually understood :-)

no problemo XX

Burn Meter

The EAT meter TOP number shows the number of calories you have selected as your target goal (in your account settings -- you can change it)

The EAT meter BOTTOM number reflects the calories you are logging into your food log.

The BURN meter TOP number is the total estimated calories you burn based on your age, height, current weight, gender, and activity level -- if you set yourself as "sedentary" and then add in your activity calories -- those are added into the TOP number.

The BURN meter BOTTOM number shows how many calories you have burned at the moment you are looking at the meter. This number starts at 0 at midnight, reflects all the calories you burned throughout the night while sleeping, all the calories you burn just by living, and calories normally expended at your listed activity level. When (If) you add in activity minutes -- it will also reflect that added to the total.

If you stay up til midnight you can see both meters switch over to 0.

Edit: Had forgotten I asked my question in my own post, so no need putting it here again!!
