Do any of you use the armbands that track the calories that you are using during your workouts? I don't want to spend a lot of money (less thatn $100). Interested to hear what you think - and if the results are that much different than what MFP calculates for us already.

Thanks!

    The armbands like the Body Media usually require a subscription and are quite pricey.

    If you're interested in just tracking workouts, get a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. The Polar FT4 is great and can be found on Amazon for around $60.

    For all day tracking, I love the Fitbit.

    MFP tends to give way too many calories for most workouts, so an HRM is a good idea.
