Calorie Counting During Workouts

Don't scream at me. Step one, I did search the forums first. :happy: I want a monitor that will tell me calories burned during my exercises (Zumba, treadmill, weights, swimming, ect) but does NOT have a chest strap. So, no polars. Thoughts?
Preferably, one that isn't bazillions of dollars. Like to be $100 or less if possible. :flowerforyou:

I heard that the heart rate monitors without a chest strap aren't accurate for calorie burn. Your best bet is probably a fitbit, which is $100 or bodybugg, which is more expensive.0

Do they both require online subscription membership?0

I think the bodybugg does, but not the fitbit.0
