Up Band Users

I have paired my UP Band to MFP and its awesome! The mobile apps track our steps, food, sleep, etc. and its amazing to add this component to our lives. We had been using them both separately and integrated together, it gives us an awesome pairing for success. I love the new data options?

Does anyone else use a UP Band or something similar to track steps, sleep, etc? FitBit?

Any tips, tricks?

    I like that I can earn exercise calories (which are typically overestimated) and it takes from my TDEE before adding to MFP so I don't have to worry too much about eating too many exercise calories back.

    TDEE?

    Total Energy Expenditure - total calories burned

    I use UP and MFP. MFP and UP tell me to eat less than the TDEE.
    Also, MFP synced with the UP gives me calories back based on activity, which I don't want bc I want a deficit.

    Look in both the UP and MFP 'app' sections regularly, as there are plenty of different apps that can integrate with both.

    I use a couple of different exercise apps that synch with MFP, and I like how UP will detract the used calories from the burned step total. Or even add calories to your total until you're moved, burned enough though the day to really exceed. This just makes a LOT of sense to me and makes it easier to utilize the two apps for my goals.

    I use MFP to log intake (food) and occasionally review the results on UP. I use MFP predominately for this.

    I use my UP for sleep tracking when I remember, which is often, but not every night.
