I am still at 175. I will do the same as yesterday regarding how many calories I will consume. I will do a moderate amount of exersize. I will walk perhaps one or two miles as my exersize for today beyond what I will walk during my daily routine. Let’s see what I do to keep the calories high enough due to exersize.

@UpDownAround: You have walked over 15 thousand steps. This is about seven miles, depending on stride length. Just because you were not out of breath just may mean less than you think regarding how many calories you have burned. You monitor, as you suspect, probably is not taking into account your fitness level. IOW it is ignoring parameters like maximum and resting heart rate. It probably is not using current speed and heart rate in these calculations for calories burned. So maybe you have burned less? How much less? I still think that you are still burning a majority of those calories. You are not Superman...yet. JMHO

FWIW There is a calculation that can determine your maximum heart rate. Since there’s is another calculation using this max heart rate to determine the heart rate zone you need to stay within for what is termed as a vigirous workout, there must be one to determine when you are having a cardio workout. I think this is important to know.
