Polar watches and calorie consumption ...

[French_Nicolas]

I bought that Watch " Polar FT7 " with the heart beat sensor ... It seems that I use a lot of cal during the day ... Like 5000cal !!! Ok I'm on clen and T3 , but it seems tremendously big !!! Does the caloric usage showed on my Watch is realistic ? When we talk about thermogenic agents , some of them like T3 don't seems to stimulate my heart beat , only the heat of your body . So do u guys have a real mathematic equation formula to calculate your body caloric use that includes more than just heart beat per min, seconds , or whatever time laps ... Somebody knows how to calculate with the body temperature also ??? And last question on this post , I promise ... Is it true that Brown baby fat is more caloric than regular fat ? If yes , I know a gram of fat needs 9 calories spended to burn , what about a Brown fat gram ???

What is brown fat?

Brown adipose tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adults have very little brown fat, so it isn't worth worrying about for diet purposes.

And unless you're an elite athlete doing several hours daily of intense exercise, there is no way your watch is correct.

Distended stomachs in bodybuilding result from eating obscene amounts of food, body structre, and using too much HGG/IGF1/insulin.

You only have a large amount of brown fat when you are an infant. At this time brown fat is stored on the back and upper half the spine towards the shoulders. In adults any brown fat is stored in the upper chest and neck. Brown fat actuality burnes calories from white fat.

No, that would be visceral fat (which is largely white). And that phenomenon is likely more from organomegaly than actual fat storage.
Numbere covered the rest well.

from what I heard from my coach , visceral fat = Brown fat ...

Your coach is an idiot.
Plaque blocks arteries.
Brown fat is negligible in adults, but important for babies and animals that hibernate.

If you don't believe us, there is this thing called Google that can provide you with thousands of pages of info on the topic.

I never want to know the colour of my fat

wow, what a thread. to the op, there are tests you can do that will calculate how many calories you are burning, usually involves going to the center, being hooked up to a mask and sleeping for an hour, and it measures oxygen consumption etc. It will with much better accuracy than your heart rate monitor tell you how many calories you are burning in a day. THose things are bs, my wifes will tell her she burned 750 calories in a moderate length lifting session.
