I am interested in getting a calorie counter (like a fit bit) but was wondering if it really works for activities like yoga. Suggestions?

    I have a FitBit and wear it during yoga but as far as I know it doesn't track that kind of activity. I don't post walking anymore (I let the FitBit manage that) but if I swim or do yoga, I do record that on MFP as activity.

    Hope that helps.

    been so curious what the calories I burn during bikram are. Won't get it if doesn't really tally it for yoga.

    I let my FitBit connect with my MFP so if I have an inactive day my calories are adjusted down to compensate. Yoga doesn't have much forward motion (which is what FB tracks). A heart rate monitor might be a better fit but I don't get much heart rate increase in yoga either. Yoga is more like strength training....not sure how you'd measure that.
