Do you know that smartwatches and smartphones tend to be off by about 40 to 80 percent when it comes to counting calories burned during an activity?
Have you experienced it?
I have. I have Garmin watch and when I tried to loose weight with 500kcal deficit according to my daily burn, I was actually gaining weight (and I don't mean muscles 🙃)
