1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a fitness tracking device, an average step count of a user of the fitness tracking device;
mapping, by the fitness tracking device, the average step count to a first corresponding physical activity level of a plurality of physical activity levels;
storing, in a memory of the fitness tracking device, the first corresponding physical activity level;
estimating, by the fitness tracking device, an aerobic capacity of the user using the first corresponding physical activity level of the user; and
estimating, by the fitness tracking device, an energy expenditure rate of the user using the aerobic capacity of the user.

15. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a non-transitory processor readable storage medium; and instructions stored on the medium; wherein the instructions are configured to be readable from the medium by a processor of a fitness tracking device comprising a memory and a motion sensor for obtaining estimates of step counts of a user of the fitness tracking device and thereby cause the processor to operate to; obtain an average step count of a user of the fitness tracking device; map the average step count to a first corresponding physical activity level of a plurality of physical activity levels; store, in the memory, the first corresponding physical activity level; estimate an aerobic capacity of the user using the first corresponding physical activity level of the user; and estimate an energy expenditure rate of the user using the aerobic capacity of the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
