I have walked 11,122 steps for exersize. That calories burned calculator uses a Mets value, metabolic equivalent, to specify the intensity of the exersize. There are charts that give you specific values for many different activities. Using the appropriate Met value, my calories burned come to 461. This is much much lower than my wrist band. So I will use this figure for now. So this means my target for today is about 2500 calories. I will come in about 2385 calories today.

PS I am going to have to experiment more on my monitor. It was working better than this in the recent past. PITA A real PITA. At this point in time I do not think another model would be much different. Tomorrow you will be finding me walking all over my townhome complex until I can get it to work better. This should end up as allot of exersize.

EDIT I have finally found an activity monitor that has only a 10% error in calories burned. Other Garmin watches have an accuracy of about 60%, and in my case, maybe less. So for let’s say 450 calories burned, this means actual may be as low as 400. In other words, only a 50 calorie difference. This is definitely doable.
