I know I have seen a few of you out there who input your calorie burn for the day from bodymedia or bodybugg. How do you calculate what myfitnespal is already giving you from what bodymedia says that you burn so you can input it for your activity on here? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks

Don't "cross the streams" as it may be. I use the calories consumed from MFP and the calories burned from BMF. I completely ignore what MFP thinks I should be burning. As long as my deficit between what I burned and what I ate is right where I want it, I'm happy.
As far as entering anything into MFP, I put some info into Food Notes. I enter mine as such:
Actual burn: 2693
Deficit: 510
Or, if I ate more than I burned, I enter is as "Surplus" instead of "Deficit".0
