Which calorie counter is better: fit-bit or body media, and why? I want one but I have no idea which one is best!

    Do a search and you'll find lots of info.
    I have both. Fitbit is cheaper, no monthly membership and smaller.

    BMF is more accurate.

    I like my fitbit a lot. I like how inconspicuous it is, I like the no monthly membership thing, and I find that it's accurate enough for me!

    BodyMedia. its much more accurate it gives you a lot more information than the fitbit.

    Although, I do the Nike fuel band. Also I wear a HRM when I workout. Costco has the BodyMedia on sale right now.

    I got the BMF a month ago. I love it. My husband just got his last week and is totally enjoying it. After a day or two you really don't notice it on. I like the accuracy and how it communicates with MFP too. No matter which you go with you will be happy with the information you get.

    I personally LOVE my fitbit and find it very accurate. I think it is a little less noticeable that the body media, but that is just me :tongue:

    Alright I have drum roll please................................................Body Media! I must say that I am loving the device. The only thing I don't like is how they don't have all the foods that I eat in their database. So I am logging my food on MFP and my cals on bodymedia. Thanks you guys for your help!

    I think lots of people do that. The scan facility on MFP is great too.

    You can link the accounts now. I track food in mfp an it shows up in my body media activity manager and vice versa.

    I know nothing of the fit bit, I have the body media, and mytrak m2. They are within 100 calories when I wear both.
