I use the Nike Fuel Band but I am not sure how to use it with My Fitness Pal. Do I log all of the calories that show up on the Nike Fuel Band everyday as exercise calories or only the calories that I burn when I am actually exercising? Do the formulas for caloric intake assume that you will have a certain amount of activity every day?

    It's generally thought to not be very accurate. If you want something on your wrist- have you seen the new Basis!

    The fuel band is tracking activity based calories, or calories above your BMR. So to know your total daily burn you add your BMR number to the calories on the fuel band. If you're using it to lose weight at 1lb/week then your target calorie level is 500 below the sum of your BMR and fuel band number.
