What is interesting is my watch app changes my BMR through the week. Most of the time it stays the same, which is 1479 for now. It has gone up as high as 2050 on a couple days. I do not know how it calculates this, but I remember reading that intense exersize can change for a period of time the resting metabolic rate of the body. Maybe this is the reason for the changes. I do not remember changing anything last week that could make this happen.

BMR calculators place me about 1650. But this can vary by a couple hundred depending on the formula used. I estimated my body fat by looking at many pictures online to be about 25% or a bit less where there is a guy in shorts that has a small roll of fat protruding over the waistband of the shorts. So a more accurate calculation using this figure is 1432 to 1545 depending on the formula used. I apparently have a lean body mass of about 123 pounds. This is as I would weigh with absolutely no fat on me. Just muscles and bones. I can spend $75 to find out the amount of body fat very accurately, but I will pass on this.

Why don’t you separate those steps during an exersize by using the activity monitor part of your watch. This is where you tell the watch when the activity (walking) starts and ends. The health and performance stats will be calculated separately for this walk. You can then review all of it on an activity by activity basis. Your wrist monitor should allow you to do this.

My BMI is 22.4. I weigh 174 and I am 6’ 2” tall. It started out as 30.2. Now that I see your BMI, I must be skinny compared to where I should be. Maybe my weight goal a while back of 182 would still be a good idea? Maybe a BMI of 23.4 will be better for me? I am going to have to figure this out. For now, I will just gain the weight back that I have recently lost, placing me back at 177 or 178. I do not want to grow out of my new clothes!
