any idea how accurate are bp monitors when it comes to kcal burned?
i have this "GEONAUTE ONRHYTHM 310 WATCH AND BELT WITH HEART RATE MONITOR" and it shows me i burned over 1700 kcal in 2,5 hrs.
20 minutes of jogging/walking on a treadmill, 20 minutes of medium stationary bike and the rest just fbw.
Im at 96-98kg (down from 115) 182cm, 28 male.
is that really possible ?

From quick research it seems that if you configure it right it tends to overestimate about 12%

1700kcal in 2½h of cardio is not a ridiculous number, it's possible. Generally the calorie expenditure estimate is pretty inaccurate though. There's a lot of estimating being done and it's all based on the numbers you input and your heart rate.

>An accurate estimation of caloric expenditure requires the following input:
>Resting heart rate (HR rest)
>Maximum heart rate (HR max)
>VO2 max
>Weight
>Age
>Gender
If your resting HR. maximum HR and VO2 max weren't inputted by you but are being estimated by the device, then it's bound to be a lot more inaccurate.
