I have an app on my phone called samsung health and it records my daily steps, its connected to myfitness pal. My kcal limit for the day is 2000kcal,on average im doing about 8500 steps which is saying 342kcal burned. My question is do you allow for these kcal or not? Im not sure how accurate it is, ive been using it for about 3 weeks and still stick to the 2000kcal rather than use the kcal burned. Any help?
I don't count steps with anything and I do just fine. Are you similarly active most days? If so it really doesn't add anything as far as I'm concerned. But then I'm a grumpy old sod.
I think the main benefit of step counters is for people who have a tendency to be very inactive.
I also don't count steps (walking) as cardio. It's not good cardio, unless you're old as f*ck or a land whale. You know how many posties are fat? Plenty (I used to be one, not a fat one but plenty were, I used to walk for about 5hrs a day with a heavy bag full of letters iirc). Cardio is great for meeting calorie goals but it has to be legit cardio imo. Sweating, heavy breathing, increased heart rate etc.
Both your replies were my thinking to be honest, seemed to good that i have an extra few hundred calories a day to use. I must do some proper cardio then .
What is happening to your weight eating 2000 kcal per day?
