Just for the sake of discussion, let me ask a question about what these machines tell you regarding the number of
calories you are burning.
Anybody that works out will likely know the answer, but for those new to the game, let me ask...
You have two people that weigh the same and are the same age and height. One is 30% bodyfat, 70% lean. The other is 20% bodyfat, 80% lean.
Now they get on a
treadmill and both do the same amount of work for an hour. The machine will indicate they both burned the same number of
calories.
But did they?
Who actually "burned" more
calories? The person with more lean
body mass or the person with the higher
body fat percentage?
Another reason why these numbers can be off and are only at best a "guesstimate".
BTW, Darth, never noticed before, but nice 80 lb drop in weight.
