Erg Calories Per Hour Metric
Erg calories per hour metric is the PM5 burn-rate estimate from watts—useful for pacing, not a substitute for food-log calories.
Erg calories per hour metric is the PM5’s estimated burn rate on rower and ski erg—derived from watts, not direct calorimetry. It helps compare steady pieces and set calorie-based workouts but can overshoot for light athletes and undershoot for heavy powerful pullers.
Use for pacing intervals; verify nutrition separately.
Common questions
-
Should you eat based on erg calories per hour?
No—use meals and macros from food logs; monitor calories per hour only to pace workouts and compare session density on the same machine.
