I assume on the S710 (and others) that the only thing it will tell you, is how much energy has been expended (as an approximation). To ascertain how much fat is burnt you'll need to go to a laboratory and have, e.g., expired respiratory gases analysed so that your respiratory exchange ratio is calculated. Ric

Well, SniperX, I guess you breathed a little life into this thread after all! I'm glad that others picked up on it.
Actually, as I was thinking just this morning, before I got online, that your best bet was to address a post right to ricstern, our resident expert on such things. He beat me to the punch. But now I'm also wondering about a HRM question. Do you guys wear them every day? I will wear one for a hard day but on easy days prefer to just limit my exertion to a pace that allows for conversation.

Thanks, you're making me blush! I don't always bother with wearing a HR strap -- simply because, i use a power meter to train with instead. Ric

I emailed them already .... takes only a few hours ??? more like a couple of days for me hehe strange thing is some of the features n functions of the HRms are not stated in the manual ... one great example is the percentage of HR function I didnt know how to view that till i did a trial n error of button pressing then i finally managed to chnge the current HR to view it as percent HR So I somehow suspect that this own cals fat burning percent may b another ignored feature in the manual.

I seem to recall the % fat burn function is only available on low end monitors. I suspect that they simply sum the calories whilst your heart rate is in the "weight managment" zone.

Can the Lab Rate report on his overall opinion of Creatine?
When and how much was the best to use? I took some before track training last week, and wasn't impresed. Brian |

What are the conclusive results of Project Creatine? Is the Lab Rat still alive?! :-)
