Kiss. Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I burned 175.7 calories today and its my first day but some people told me that if you wanted to lose weight you have to burn more than 500 calories is that true? Does that mean i have to do more workouts besides this one? Please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 1. To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you get with food. 1. The calories count is never precise, it is always rough estimation. 3. Unfortunately (for me ) exercise alone is not enough. The reasonable diet should be added. I have no idea how the app calculate the calories. 175 is kind of low. With my weight running 30min with 3.5% incline is about 600 calories This is what my treadmill is showing and it is one good cheeseburger .

Kiss. Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thankyou so much. I was feeling so bad when I saw 175 only lol and i really wanna know the exact calories that im burning... so i should read the calories on the treadmill instead?

Swathi Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 500 calorie deficit is based on a lot of assumption, your body weight, how active you are etc. you are expected to eat 250 calorie less and burn 250 calories so as to get a 500 calorie deficit. Again these are all not accurate. if you eat healthy and exercise regularly, making it more of a life style change you will definitely see a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that most treadmills give 10-20% error. Be sure that you enter your weight (your real weight ) in the treadmill. I would not compare calories from different devices. Stick with one for rough estimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
