So does it track you calories AS you workout? Or is it like on MFP where you have to get on the computer and put it in yourself? I just don't know why I'd spend $100 for something I have to do manually just like on here you know? lol.

*QUESTION not "Quest" LOL woops. Sorry guys.

    A Fitbit is not to track exercise calories. You can wear a HRM for that. The Fitbit tracks NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis). It tracks your steps, stairs climbed, and basically gives you a gauge for your TDEE.

    So what kind of HRM do you recommend?

    I have the polar ft4 hrm and love it - I've been using it for four months. My next purchase (after the family vacation in June) will be a Fitbit or I think there is also a Bodybug that is similar for tracking "regular" calories.
