Fitbit data is depressing Just for fun, I thought I'd use my free Fitbit Premium trial to see how I stack up against the fitness tracking crowd.  I was shocked by what I saw. I really don't consider myself to be an athlete by any means. I've never played a sport in my life, nor have I even run a half-marathon, let alone could I dream of running an entire 26 miles. So how in the world am I in the freakin' 99th percentile on steps taken and distance traveled??? This is compared to young, nonoverweight males such as myself mind you, not the population at large. I don't understand why I'm seeing this. All I'm doing is getting some treadmill sessions in during my free time in the evenings. I don't even have an active job! It pretty much requires that I be sedentary for 10 hours!! But it gets really rich when I compare myself to fatties. See, I burn 31% more calories than the median young obeast male. Yet the median obeast male gets 6095 steps per day, which is only frickin' 43.5% as many steps (but I'm sure they stay as busy and active as a thin person, right?). It just makes me so angry to see how little effort it would take them to burn a huge amount of calories. This along with not gorging themselves to blotation every single meal is all they need to go back to being human, and yet they completely refuse to because of how normalized it's become in this insane society. But I guess that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Bonus pic for step data of fatties in general
