My Ki Fit arrived on Thursday night! (Not Weds as promised... oh well.) It took me some hours to charge it, so I only have one full day of recording yet, but it's already showing some interesting things.
My MET rate while I'm asleep seems way down on normal. My average calories burned while asleep last night was 1.2 per minute, whereas for someone at my weight it should be 1.7. That's only 70% of what I should be burning. According to WebMD my resting metabolic rate should be just under 2.5k cals a day. However if I'm only burning 70% of what I should be, that would make my RMR only 1750 cals a day?! However, I don't think it's quite that bad - according to the monitor I managed to burn 2753 cals yesterday, although it estimated the first 6 hours while I was sleeping (while the monitor was charging.)
It will probably take at least a week's worth of data before I can draw any solid conclusions, but so far it's definitely backing up my feeling that my metabolism is simply much slower than it should be. And of course I know exactly what's caused that - all that binging and starving when I was a stupid kid!
