I weigh 176 right now. I do not know if this means anything since my weight can sometimes move up and down. I may go to Trader Joe’s for my dinner. The scale will provide the definitive answer for both of us. I called Garmin and they said, given my stats including level of health, the well over 200 calories a mile initially given by my monitor sounded reasonable to them. This is when I specify my full weight on the mobile app. So we shall see. Personally, I think your band is more accurate. Besides, I cannot eat all those extra calories stated on my monitor due to my four mile walks. I may have to stay with two mile walks for now just to see what happens.

PS. I am thinking of getting a chest heart monitor band that works with my Garmin. This will be much more accurate which can lead to more accurate calories burned. It will cost me about $20.
