Understanding the Science of Calorie Tracking & the Challenges with Counting Them | WHOOP Podcast

[@10camcaz]

My strain so far today is 7.4 and calories is 1203 and my friends is 4.4 and his calories is 1250. He is much fitter than I am yet I am constantly getting really low calories after each workout. I went for a 11k run the other day at my whoop said I burnt 550 calories and my underarmour app said it was almost 900 calories. This seems really dodgy. Would it be worth recalibrating my whoop and see if it fixes the issue? I have huge days of activities and struggle to burn greater than 2000 cals. Very unsatisfying

Great podcast! I had no idea I was in the top 1% of the men’s group I am in. I finally looked at it on a hard day and saw it claimed I burned 6,000 calories. I was very hungry when it claimed that and I ate around 4,000 so I’m assuming it is pretty accurate. Ive notice on days I do next to nothing- the calorie burn is very similar to the 2,000 calorie diet that is generally recommended What I do know is I am still not eating enough to keep up. I am hungry as I type this 😂 Regardless of the actual calories burned- it is good to know that the measurements are very consistent between users and it is safe to make moves with the data. Thank you Whoop!
