How the maths works
Rest day burn = BMR x 1.2 (sedentary), using the calculator.net formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor by default).
Weights count as a 60 minute session: push and pull (3.5 MET), legs (5 MET).
Cardio: walk (3.5 MET), incline walk (6 MET), tennis (7.3 MET). Steps convert to time at 100 steps a minute for walking and 90 for incline. Exercise uses (MET - 1) x kg x hours so resting burn isn't counted twice.
Fat lost = (burned - eaten) / 7,700 kcal per kg.
True weight: the scale moves with water, salt, carbs and what's still in your gut, so one reading can be off by 1 to 2 kg. Bento starts from its calorie prediction and moves its estimate a quarter of the way towards each weigh-in, capped so one odd reading can't swing it. If readings keep disagreeing, the estimate follows them within a week or two.
Calibration: once you have 4 weigh-ins over at least a week, Bento compares your real trend with its prediction and adjusts your daily burn (up to ±600 kcal) so the numbers match your body.
