What is your favorite gadget you use to track how many calories you burn during exercise and throughout the day?

    I use nothing through out day but a Garmin when riding the bike outdoors and Polar at the gym.

    I use fitbit, though be wary of the accuracy no matter what tracking product you choose to use. They are all only an estimate.

    I stopped using my fitbit..now just rely on MFP to estimate based on time/effort, or runtastic to track my jogs and estimate the caloric burns for me.

    Garmin Vivoactive HR here and it seems spot on. Anytime I've pulled the numbers, my MFP deficit and weight loss line up pretty close.

    Garmin Edge 1000 for cycling outdoors, Polar FT60 for indoor cardio, WattbikePro with power meter for indoor cycle training.

    I use a fitbit. However, I only allow calories from steps to count, as I do a lot at the gym and classes where the calorie burn us probably higher than just the steps (I don't have a HARM one), with the aim of counteracting any over estimation. It appears to be working :)
