    background 5'9 about 155 would like to lose 10 lbs at most ! I have a a good amount of muscle and lift heavy 4x a week, switching to full body after 8 weeks or so to mix it up a little .
    So here goes my maintaine cal are 2500, so to lose 10 healthfully i would have to eat about 2000cal a day.

    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.
