What does everyone here use to track your calories?

Polar Ft4 for most things.
For strength I usually go with what mfp estimates -33% because I feel my calorie burns are usually only 2/3 of what mfp says. I also do that anytime I forget my hrm or get some unplanned exercise.0 -
Nothing, I just keep track on here. I believe, I am doing a good job....Plus, I can't really afford a quality HRM....:drinker:0

Polar ft7 and cardiotrainer. Most of the time I just enter the default values from mfp though.
Its usually fairly close for me.0 -

I realise there is no point holding onto my FT4 HRM as it is no more accurate than the guess-timates on MFP.
I am using the MFP calorie figures and eat back only half of the calories if I do at all to stay on the safe side of error.
To really track my calories I then watch the fat/lean mass scales and the tape measure.0 -
I use my HRM just to measure my heart rate, since I want to keep it at the low end of my target heart rate for optimum "fat burning".0

I use Cardio Trainer PRO, previously using Endomondo PRO, due to many indoor exercises I switched to Cardio Trainer PRO.0
