Total Calories, also known as Total Energy Expenditure (TEE), is the sum of all calories burned during a specific monitoring period, encompassing both active calories from physical activity and resting calories used for essential bodily functions.

Resting calories represent the energy your body uses at rest to perform basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and regulating body temperature. This value is calculated based on factors like age, gender, weight, and basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Active calories are those burned during physical activities, while resting calories are the energy expended for basic bodily functions while at rest. Total calories combine both to provide a comprehensive view of your energy expenditure.

Tracking Total Calories helps you understand your energy balance, which is essential for weight management and overall health. It can guide dietary choices and exercise routines based on your goals, whether it’s weight loss, maintenance, or muscle gain.

Heart rate is a key factor in estimating calorie burn. As your heart rate increases during physical activity, your body uses more energy, resulting in a higher calorie expenditure. Wearable devices use heart rate data to calculate active calories burned.

Yes, age, weight, and gender significantly influence your metabolism and caloric expenditure. Generally, younger individuals, those with higher body weight, and males tend to burn more calories due to differences in metabolic rates.

The Frontier X2 calculates Total Calories by combining heart rate data with personal information, such as age, weight, and gender. This personalized approach allows for a more accurate estimate of calorie expenditure during activities.

Calorie burn estimates from wearable devices, including the Frontier X2, provide a good approximation but may not be 100% accurate. Factors like exercise intensity, hydration, and individual metabolism can affect the accuracy of these estimates.

To ensure accurate calorie tracking on your Frontier X2, keep your personal information updated in the app, including age, weight, and gender. Regularly calibrate your device and use it consistently during workouts and daily activities.

Calorie tracking features, including Total Calories calculation, are available only with Frontier X2 devices, providing users with comprehensive insights into their energy expenditure.
