I assume on the S710 (and others) that the only thing it will tell you, is how much energy has been expended (as an approximation).
To ascertain how much fat is burnt you'll need to go to a laboratory and have, e.g., expired respiratory gases analysed so that your respiratory exchange ratio is calculated.

Well, SniperX, I guess you breathed a little life into this thread after all! I'm glad that others picked up on it.
Actually, as I was thinking just this morning, before I got online, that your best bet was to address a post right to ricstern, our resident expert on such things. He beat me to the punch.
But now I'm also wondering about a HRM question. Do you guys wear them every day? I will wear one for a hard day but on easy days prefer to just limit my exertion to a pace that allows for conversation.

Thanks, you're making me blush!
I don't always bother with wearing a HR strap -- simply because, i use a power meter to train with instead.

I emailed them already .... takes only a few hours ??? more like a couple of days for me hehe strange thing is some of the features n functions of the HRms are not stated in the manual ... one great example is the percentage of HR function I didnt know how to view that till i did a trial n error of button pressing then i finally managed to chnge the current HR to view it as percent HR So I somehow suspect that this own cals fat burning percent may b another ignored feature in the manual.
Are we supposed to have 5 grams of creatine? I bought a 500g btch of creatine from www.zipvit.co.uk - the cheapest in vitamins and suplements, and it says in the first five days of use you take so many heaped spoonfuls per day,then after that one per day before training, but when i weigh a heaped spoonful, it is only about 2g, so what is the correct dose?? I did read tht the dosage of creatine from another firm was 5g per day, which is the most accurate???

assuming that you don't compete in track sprint or similar races, i.e., you compete in RR, TT, MTB, etc. then creatine won't do anything for your performance except possibly make you slower.

it *won't* work for TTs (assuming you mean ones more than say 60-secs in duration). creatine helps very short repeated efforts, so has no effect on longer durations. As you gain weight with it and it doesn't increase sustainable power you'll generally slow down (e.g., uphill).

Well, I go for longer distance cycling (well by my stadards, I do 20-30 miles on long rides. This kind of sustained excercise on my legs is the kind of sustained exercise a body builder would be doing, exxcept with heaver stresses, so surely it must be coming in useful. What makes you think it would not? Why do you think it might make me slower?
