Fitbit V.S. Body Bugg

AuntieKT

After reading a few posts about the Fitbit lately, it is making me think about buying one cuz I feel like the calorie amounts that myfitnesspal gives for exercises is a little inaccurate. I have also heard some good things about the body bugg. I was wondering what people think of these two products and which they thought was better. What made you buy the calorie counter that you did? Are there any other products out there like these that I should also be looking at?

Thanks a lot in advance for any responses!

I chose the Fitbit because it is discreet. I wear mine on my bra and no one knows it's there. The Body Bugg would make me insane and make for some really odd tan lines.

I use the Fitbit in conjunction with a HRM, which I wear for "real" exercise. The Fitbit tracks the rest of my day to day activities.

Thanks! Any more experiences?

I have the Body Media and I love it. After hearing a tip here, I started tucking in into the side of my bra instead of wearing it on my arm. The readings are basically the same for everyday activities. I do wear it on my arm when I workout though. I have lost an average of 1-2 pounds per week since I have had mine. The food database sucks, but I log my food here and transfer the daily totals over to the BMF website.

Interesting. I will have to check that out. Anybody else have any feedback on the Body Bugg? I guess there have been enough posts lately on the FitBit that I can just read those, but would really like to hear what people think of the bodybugg. I'm not sure I want to pay a subscription fee for the rest of my life...
