My guess/theory is that morre people are seeing these numbers and then see the high number and wonder why they are not losing more weight. Examples the ellipticals as my club....show calories....and yes this has been arouund for a while, but my new HRM (a very basic Timex) shows calories, my old one did not. The mapmyride android app shows calories....and it doesnt even have my weight age. and so on.
