I am currently 30lbs out of racing weight (5' 11" and 200lbs). I have bought the book "racing weight" and I am trying to follow as many of the ideal eating patterns as possible. I have also set a goal beginnng today to burn 1000kcal per day though exercise 6 of the 7 days per week.
I have noticed my Sunto watch and powertap are within 5% for the reported caloric expenditure at high zone 2 intensities. When my HR goes up the predicted values on my watch are lower then the measured power tap values.
Not sure what running/skiing would be like, but it is cool that the watch prediction is fairly accurate with one type of execise at the zone I spend most of my time training.
