Day 3 with the BodyMedia, and it still has me over 3000 kcal burned. I have been ramping up the amount I eat though, by about 400 to 500 per day over the weekend - and I'm down a small net amount still. Which leads me to believe the armband may be more accurate than I thought. Even if it's correct, though, I'm still not going to jump up to eating 3000 or 3200 calories per day right away. First, I'm not even sure if I can do that. Second, it seems possible that my body could react to an 80% calorie increase not just by burning all those calories, but by storing a lot of them away as fat, just in case it goes back to a "famine."
SO, I'll keep my eye on the BodyMedia, keep exercising, and just slowly move the calories up, probably about 150 per week.
And I could be seeing things, but I think that even just after 3 days of eating more, there seems to be a tiny bit more meat on some of the muscle groups.
I dunno, this BMF could be a real godsend. If I'm given a free pass to eat 1000 to 1400 more calories per day that all goes toward lean muscle....this will be fun :)
