How do you know how many calories you've burned to input in the tracker?

Any help or tips are appreciated!

    Hi,
    Ideally you need a HRM that way you'll get a fairly accurate calorie burn figure.

    Using any other method means guessing.

    Cheers,

    I do the p90x routines and I use a heart rate monitor to calculate mine. Its the best way to calculate how many calories youve burned. If you buy one, make sure it's a chest strap HR monitor. From everything ive read I dont think the wrist ones are as accurate. I spent $70 on a Polar model.

    Before I got mine I was really underestimating the calories burned in my workouts. I hope this helps.

    There is no accurate to calculate it. HRM may give a better estimate but they can over and under estimate. As mentioned earlier, get the one that uses a chest strap.
