Best way to integrate HRM calories with MPF?

I'm starting a P90 style program and wanting a way to enter my calories. One option is to get a Polar and just manually enter what it says everyday. Is there another option that integrates a little better?

    I use a Polar H7 bluetooth heart rate monitor and have it paired with my iPhone.

    On my iPhone I use an app called DigiFit (free app, but to 'unlock' the pairing ability for a heart rate monitor is a few bucks).

    Digifit shows a readout of my heart rate during my workout. Once I have finished my workout it uploads the data to MyFitnessPal. This requires you to sync the two accounts (DigiFit & MFP) but this is pretty simple to do.

    Sounds good but how does it do the calories? I won't be doing the P90 stuff and am not going to log 20 different exercises everyday.

    Heck with it I'm buying one in the morning. BB 45 minutes away has them and I'm going to pick one up.

    Bought it today and used it with Digitfit. (cost $3 to get the added function on the app). Synced perfectly with with MFP. Very happy camper.
