Ive got a Bodymedia Fit - scooby tells me my TDEE is 2242, my BMF gives me a weekly average of 2350. Close enough I'd say.

Yep scooby says my TDEE is 2350 and BMF says around 2300....pretty darn close.

Fit bit is generally as accurate as the other kinds of devices, unless you mostly do weights and strength training. Scooby put me at 2106 TDEE and Fitbit averaged about 2100 per week.

i have a fitbit and i've used BMF. they were all in the same ball park

fitbit: 2250 (month avg) -- BMF was always a bit higher than my fitbit, gave me maybe within 100 more calories burned per day
scooby: 2190

i find neither fitbit/BMF are accurate when it came to exercise. i always wear a HRM for exercise and override what fitbit gave me so i have an accurate TDEE

Initially, my BMF estimated my TDEE much higher than Scooby did. BMF estimated 2700-2800 and Scooby estimated 2400. But now that I've had my BMF for a couple months, my TDEE has gone done somewhat and it's a little more in line with Scooby. My average TDEE according to my BMF is more around 2500-2600.

Scooby had my numbers pretty close to my BMF. So I'd say you're safe going with Scooby. I wore my BMF for about 3 weeks and am now taking a short break from it. Will begin wearing it again in a few weeks to get a little more data (when I begin my cut, right now I'm doing the reset). IT was very reassuring to me to see those numbers! Yes, I am very stubborn!!!

I have had both Body media fit ( same thing as a body bugg even by teh same company) and a fit bit. I tested both for a week b4 returning the bmf. They ran about 50 calories within eatch other each day sometime one was more other days less. So yes teh fit bit is just as acurate. The scobby calculator is the closest one that I have found to these two devices.

Thanks for posting this! I'm not going to waste my money on a bodybugg as I was thinking of doing!

People comparing the Scooby calculator to the devices, which Scooby calculator are you using on sccoby?
The regular one or the accurate one?

I used the regular one and the difference between Scooby & my BMF is only 80 calories.

BTW, I love your profile pic. We're about to lose one of our dogs (not a Rottie) to cancer, and hubby and I have both said that our next dog is going to be another Rottie like we had before.

I have a Bodybugg. The difference for sedentary days is 30-50 cal more on Scooby's calculations. For 3-5 hours of moderate exercise it's around 130 cal more and 5-6 hours strenuous exercise is closer to 250.
