Use the MFP calculator and add your exercise that way.
You do not need exact calories burned. You just need a starting point for 4 weeks, after which you can adjust based on weight loss.
No suggestions for heart rate. I don't track mine.1 -
Cheaper generally isnt as accurate... if you are not worried about having older technology, i highly recommend a polar ft7 watch. It has a chest strap as is arguably one of the most accurate methods to track. You can find them on ebay and amazon very reasonable... ive had mine 6 years and it works great0

I have a FitBit Zip. No heart rate, but I find it's more accurate than the MFP calorie burns from exercise. It was $50, I think.2
