So here goes my maintaine cal are 2500, so to lose 10 healthfully i would have to eat about 2000cal a day.
I workout with weights 4x a week and do cardio 5-6 times for 45mn to i hour dependding on intensity! Usually its 2x a week 1 hr track workout at my local football stadium i do sprints on track, runn stadium and do pushups and lunges on football field.. awesome workout ! 3x a week i do 1 hitt session and 2 ss cardio on elliptical run or arc trainer.
I have def noticed from upping my calories to 2000ish adding more carbs bout 100-125 a day(b4 i only ate like 60 eveyday) i have lost weight,clothes alot loser!

You really have to judge your results based on how you look and feel and then use that info to calibrate what the HRM is telling you. There is a +- 15% error in those HRMs. For me, it reads high by about 15%. I just looked at my logs for calories consumed versus HRM results, versus measurements/weight/mirror, and could see 15% was about right. So if it says I burned 300 calories in an hour, it's really 255. Then when I subtract off what I would have burned if I had just sat home watching TV, it's down to 165. It's that 165 that drives my calorie levels.
