Calorie Counter????

sweetg1222

Hello all!!! I am looking into getting a calorie counter and i am not sure what to get.....I would like an arm band type. I looked in to getting the bodybug but that is way out of my price range. I am willing to pay $100-$130 for one just dont know what is the best one. Thought maybe you guys could help. Thanks for reading and responding!!! :flowerforyou:

I don't know any with arm bands, but I love my Polar FT7 with the chest strap. I paid about $140 for it in Canada and it is pretty comfortable and water resistant, so i can use it swimming.

To get an accurate reading you need one of the chest strap types - Polar FT4 does a good job and should be in your price range - a lot less than the FT7

I have the Polar FT7 w/chest strap. It is very cofortable and easy to use. I bought it from walmart.com for $94 with free site to store shipping.

I also have the chest strap and watch. It is great, and you can download it to your computer and track your progress. It also helps you stay in the right heart rate for what you are trying to achieve (i.e. weight loss). Biggest loser uses bodybug, but I don't know anything about it.
