I am looking to buy one of these heart rate monitors that track calories burned. What do you recommend?

    Also - if I get one that JUST monitors my heart rate (and doesn't calculate calories), will I be able to determine my calories burned based on the heart rate info alone?

    I have the Polar FT7 and love it. It's so nice to properly traack the calories I am burning. Good luck.

    For the most accurate get one with a chest strap.
    Most MFP people use the Polar brand.
    I have bought 2 Polar FT40's. They both work great. If your going to workout with someone else using the same brand HRM make sure you start them in two different locations. Mine picked up my gf's HR and they replaced them for free.

    I have a timex road trainer mid-size, easy to use, owner can replace the batteries in the watch and strap (my polar HRM had to be garbaged because of this issue :explode: ) and calculates calories burned
