I consistently find that the BodyMedia measurements are lower than expected. Initially, I did not know whether it was them or the other guys. However, over time, I’ve become convinced it’s them. They simply can’t tell what exercise you’re doing, so are unable to calculate how much you’re burning. Just that you’re burning.
