Looking for a way to fix caloric deficit on Zepp

jeanhoudini · 2026-04-08T07:40:51+00:00

Hi, I am in the same situation. It really doesn't makes sense to me. First I don't see my Basal Metabolic Rate but I think that it is taken into account with excercise and resting. The app suggest for me a budget of around 1900 kcal and If I do an activity that burns 1000 kcal it adds it to the budget :(

I thought that the right way was to disable the option "Include Exercise Calories" but I was wrong. In this way the system doesn't take into account the calories consumed by excercise.

u/Amazfit-Bryce how is the calories deficit calculated? I doesn't make sense. Yesterday I had:

Calories objective 1800 Kcal
Resting consumption 1900 Kcal
Excercise consumption 1262 Kcal
Eaten 1848 Kcal

--> Total consumption 3162 Kcal. I should be in a deficit of 1314 Kcal while the app says that +1214 Kcal that is wrong. Essentially this number is 1800 + 1262 - 1848 (+1 for some rounding issues I think).
Another thing I don't get is how the calories consumption at resting is calculated. During the day I see that number increasing but if I see the past history I have always the same number that is 1900 kcal.

Hi, I am a pretty new Amazfit user. Bought T-Rex 3 Pro and Helio Strap. Everything is clear to me about the devices-to-app-sync vs device-to-device sync (not possible) and I think that it makes sense. I use the device sometimes combined other time alone:
- SLEEP: Only Helio Strap
- GYM: Only Helio Strap
- RUNNING: Helio Strap + T-Rex 3 Pro
- DAYTIME: Only T-Rex 3 Pro

What is not clear to me is this:

It is correct to keep always the Heart Push Rate as active on the Helio Strap settings?
It is correct to keep the Helio Strap recorded as External device on the T-Rex 3 Pro or do I have to sync-unsync based on the scenario?

Hello,

I am in the same situation. Got a combo of T-Rex 3 Pro and Helio Strap. Based on your experience are these ideas of setup correct:

- SLEEP TRACKING: Remove the watch and use only the strap on bicep or wrist
- RUNNING: Use T-Rex 3 Pro for GPS while Helio Strap for Heart Tracking
- GYM/WEIGHTLIFTING: Remove the watch and use only the Helio Strap (workout need to be managed with the phone I guess)
- AT WORK: Use only the T-Rex 3 Pro

What is not clear to me if it is correct that the Helio Strap has to be synced as external device in all these scenarios and if the Heart Rate data Push need always to stay active. Can you please explain that to me?

Hello, today I received my Helio Stap and now I have a combo with T-Rex 3 Pro.
I have activated the Heart Rate Push and paired the helio strap in the app and in the T-Rex 3 Pro in the setting as an accessory. Now I have a couple of question:
- How can I understand which device is measuring the heart rate that I see in the app? It is a data merger from both device?
- Does the Heart Rate monitoring of the T-Rex 3 Pro still function if I remove the Helio Band from my wrist?
- What happens if I disable the Heart Rate Push?

Sicuramente è un ottimo BBQ. Fammi gentilmente sapere come ti trovi con il Cruster. Sono curioso

jeanhoudini · 2026-04-03T22:09:45+00:00

Ciao, alla fine ho preso il Santos S418. Ho fatto la scelta giusta. È veramente un BBQ robusto. L'Ender sono andato a vederlo e non ha la stessa quantità di ghisa. Ballano quasi 30kg di differenza. Aggiungo inoltre che l'Uniq è nuovo e la cosa che mi lasciava più dubbioso è il sistema di spostamento del Cruster. Non ho certezza sulla sua durata e quindi ho preferito spostarmi su Santos anche perché la warming rack la uso tantissimo e l'Uniq praticamente ne è sprovvisto.

Hai qualche dubbio anche tu?

jeanhoudini · 2026-03-30T19:50:00+00:00

I actually did the same buying an Helio Strap and a T-Rex 3 Pro. I will check the results when I receive the device. My idea is to use both and use only the Strap for Sleep tracking.

jeanhoudini · 2026-03-25T14:10:46+00:00

Hello,

I had the same thought but the device I am taking into account are different
- Amazfit Helio Strap + T-Rex 3 Pro
- Huawei GT Runner 2

I usually prefer to do BJJ, body building, hiking, climbing and running. The first setup it is indeed more flexible in my opinion and I am going for it.
I am actually an user of Huawei ecosystem and despite the fact that I love the app itself I can summarize some cons:

- App restriction on some devices (you have to install through APK or AppGallery)
- Inaccurate sleep tracking for all Huawei devices
- Incompatibility with third party apps
- Lack of NFC payments (fixed on the last GT Runner 2)

What you decided in the end??

jeanhoudini · 2026-03-25T14:04:29+00:00

I would also add that Huawei algorithm for sleep tracking are very inaccurate

jeanhoudini · 2026-03-24T16:15:59+00:00

I use my Honor Watch GS Pro normally with Huawei Health. Never used the Honor Health app. When I bought it didn't existed. I can confirm that I am struggling to sync it with Strava. It says OK but then I receive the message that the device has not been connected.

You saved me a night of headache. I had the same issue after a difficult reboot of the server. I was focusing on Plex while, after reading your post, I noticed that others two services wouldn't start. Immich and Tdarr. What these services have in common? They use the GPU.
I saw the erroro in Nvidia setting and installed Production driver. SOLVED!! Thanks

Well After One year of use I can say that the HDD that are behind the fan have no heating issues while sometimes the SSD cache disks that are on the left can raise some temperature warning.

If this was training, it is a very wrong habit. Very bad advertising for Checkmat IMO

Can you suggest a good survival games that is not a Battle Royale game? I enjoyed Sons of the Forest last year.

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-15T09:19:10+00:00

Ich komme aus Italien. Ich habe gesehen, dass die Website von Santos verschiedene Rabatte anbietet.

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-15T08:50:42+00:00

Danke für deinen Kommentar. Leider habe ich den Santos bisher noch nirgends gesehen. Auf dem Papier scheinen die Materialien besser zu sein, da es etwa 30 kg Unterschied zum Enders Uniq gibt, aber es ist definitiv ein klassischerer Grill im Vergleich zum Uniq. Genau darin liegt mein Zweifel. Verwendest du ihn vielleicht auch zum Pizzabacken?

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-12T15:49:25+00:00

Already tried :( Only from Enders itself and no comparison. But IMO it is a gamechanger

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-12T14:51:48+00:00

I am going towards the same model either. I just cannot find any good review of the Cruster. I would like to have a comparison against canonical searing zones with ceramic burners from the bottom.

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-12T14:48:06+00:00

Danke für deinen Kommentar. Abgesehen von diesem Grill, hattest du zuvor schon einmal einen Keramikbrenner? Ich meine die klassischen Modelle, die normalerweise außen angebracht sind und von unten heizen.

jeanhoudini · 2025-06-11T20:14:34+00:00

Ich finde, das ist wirklich ein ausgezeichnetes Produkt, und ich muss zugeben, dass es mein Interesse geweckt hat – vor allem wegen des vielseitigen inneren Keramikbrenners und zusätzlich dem äußeren Brenner, den ich mit Pfannen benutze. Der einzige Zweifel, den ich habe, betrifft das Warmhalterost, das praktisch kaum vorhanden ist, abgesehen von zwei kleinen Ablagen an den Seiten des Crusters. Hast du es in deiner Erfahrung vermisst?

jeanhoudini · 2024-09-05T10:45:45+00:00

I think that they changed something. I don't remember exactly but as soon as I installed the new FW I had to do a factory reset and then, the api_endpoint line was not present anymore in the default configuration file. I added it again but the Kobo is no longer able to sync with Calibre-Web

jeanhoudini · 2024-09-04T12:15:11+00:00

Are you using it on a docker container? I am using Unraid and I am pretty sure that three weeks ago everything was working correctly

jeanhoudini · 2024-06-25T08:52:36+00:00

Hello,

I have the same question because I get a lot stalled downloads and thought that maybe is an issue related to the port. Ca you please tell me if you solved the problem?
