Looking to get people's opinions on here on which wristband to track activity. I'm sure the popular one is the Fitbit. But I was looking at the iFit Act today. Any input on any devices would be greatly appreciated.

    The benefit to going with a tracker from Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone, Under Armor, Polar, Misfit, or Withings is that they all sync with MFP and adjust your calories accordingly.

    I like Fitbit (just got the Blaze, but I've used zip, flex, and Surge.) I tried Garmin but had issues with the software, so I went back to Fitbit. The software for Garmin has had some updates since I tried it, so my experience is probably not relevant anymore.

    Misfit Flash is $25.98 - $29.99 on Amazon depending on color. It looks like it will do everything the iFit does and sync with MFP. It can be worn as a wristband or clipped on.

    So only the devices listed on MFP will sync with this app?

    Thanks for the info btw

    Yep. If your looking for one in the $30 range, I would go with Misfit (just looked and target carries them for $30 as well). Jawbone also has a model that's around $30 on amazon.
