Any pointers for a good calorie counter?

i own a Fitbit charge activity tracker however sometimes would love to know calories burnt when I am working on home DVDs. Any pointers for a good not too expensive calorie counter?

Polar is the standard for heart rate monitors. Their FT1 sells for $40. If you want a combo activity tracker / HRM there are new Fitbits, but those are less accurate as HRMs.

I agree with this. I just got a Polar ft7 and I take it on my 30 minute walks. It seems to me to be much more accurate tha n either my ped or MFP's cal counts are. But I do only wear it for workouts and walks. I don't count cals for my other mild slow daily activities.

Polar Heart rate monitor is the truth. I have a Nike sports watch as well and they sync perfectly.

HRMs are limited when it comes to calculating caloric burn.

Any pointers for a good calorie counter?
