Calories Burned Today
Total: 3501
Basal: 1751
Lifestyle: 1452
Activities: 298
How does it know this stuff...lol? Is it saying that overall today I will burn 3501 calories??? Its very confusing to me.

The basal is based upon your current weight. My basal on fitday went down as my weight went down. Lifestyle is the stuff you do everyday-brush teeth, go to the bathroom, shower....Activities are the specific things you put in-exersize. I am assuming that they put in an average for lifestyle also based on weight. People at different weights burn calories differently. Yes, they are saying that you will burn a total of 3500 calories for that day.
At 157 my Calories burned:
Total: 2399
Basal: 1454 61%
Lifestyle: 945 39%
Activities: 0 0%
At 136:
Total: 2249
Basal: 1363 61%
Lifestyle: 886 39%
Activities: 0 0%
I picked two days with no activities input so you can see just how the basic numbers change as you lose weight. |
