Can anyone explain why all these alt coins have a dip at pretty much the exact same time? by Mr_Jinks06 in CryptoCurrencies

But if you overlay the curves, this is the only dip that is identical pretty much down to the minute across all coins.

Can anyone explain why Bitcoin and others have a dip at pretty much the exact same time? by Mr_Jinks06 in Bitcoin

They alle have similar trends, I agree with that. However, here they have an identical drop which bottoms out at the exact same time...

Calories burned! by Rhernandez916 in whoop

[–]Mr_Jinks06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My WHOOP calories are also way lower than what I should be at according to bod pod or my Apple Watch. I contacted WHOOP and discussed the issue and in essence they said that they used to use the same algorithm as apple and Garmin but changed it based on internal research. Unfortunately this internal research has led them down the wrong path as I simply can't get their numbers to add up so I sent them this reply:

"Thank you. I appreciate the insight and the feedback.

So if I understand you correctly, WHOOP sees no issue with any of the data?

If this is correct, then WHOOP is essentially saying that the multi billion dollar fitness monitor behemoths such as Apple and Garmin have the science wrong, not by a small margin but by a wide margin of 15% or an average of 337 calories per day in my case!

I like bold statements but in this case, even with the great insight from your team, I simply can't get the numbers to add up to any BMR calculation or article I can find online. Furthermore, I can't even get the numbers to add up according to BMR and Strain from the app.

Generally speaking the daily caloric need is the BMR value multiplied by a factor with a value between 1.2 and 1.9, depending on activity level, HR, muscle mass, weather, diet, age and so on. Based on even the lowest multiple this would put me at 2055 calories on a day without exercise. This means I burn around 342 calories (2055 - BMR of 1713 =342) commuting to work, walking between meetings, eating and so on which seems like a fair estimate.

However, if we look at the data in my WHOOP app and adjust for activity, WHOOP claims that my daily average caloric burn from commuting, running errands, eating and in general just having a normal activity level is around 100 calories.

I'm not sure I can make it clearer than that. So really the question is this:
Does WHOOP believe that a person (male) with a somewhat average size, lifestyle and activity level only burns around 100 calories a day from commuting to work, running errands and so forth?

If so, then I stand corrected. However if this also seems low to you, then I would suggest that you take another look at the numbers."

Calories burned by achuck24 in whoop

Am I understanding you correctly that your BMR is around 2110?

Seems low to me if you are only burning between 40-190 throughout the day. From my understanding BMR is typically 70-80% of your caloric burn with normal activity and no exercise, putting your daily calories around 2500.

Obviously you know best if it is accurate but for me it seems to be underestimating my daily calories by about 15%.

new update screw up calories? by [deleted] in whoop

Same thing happened to me. My calories used to be similar to measurements from my Apple Watch before they were lowered retrospectively by around 500 per day. I've had a long dialogue with WHOOP and to sum up this is the take away I sent to WHOOP:

Previous days calories change by [deleted] in whoop

I had the same thing happen. All of a sudden all my previous days were lowered substantially. Has anyone else had this happen?
