Do any of you use a Bodybugg or device to measure the amount of calories you burn during exercise? How can I calculate what I burning daily?

Thanks!

I have a Bodybugg. I used it for a while until I got my routine down, it's a good tool for that. Fitbit does the same and I think it is a little less expensive.

I lost 30 lbs fat and gained 15 lbs lean muscle mass when i was using body bugg. It was sooo motivating. I dont like that you have to pay a subscription though. And that you cant connect it to alot of apps such as MyDiaryNet. I dont wanna double log my food. But its the only device proven to exactly measure calories burned during wake and sleep hours. I want fit bit bc it works with my app but i got reviews that its not very accurate. And body bugg was proven accurate by some US legal affiliation. I wanna say fda but not sure. I JUST read this. Trainers like bodybugg. BB dwnside: the skin underneath it doesnt get enough sun and so ur left with embarrassing tan lines. Not discreet and falls off slightly as u sweat.

Nalasmom...go to eBay and buy a 12 month subscription. I paid just $28 for the year for mine. And I only paid $50 for my bodybugg/Bodymedia band. eBay is our friend. Lol.

I just ordered the FitBit $99.95. There's no subscription fee all the tools online are free. In comparing all the stuff out there I think the FitBit does the most for the least cost.....food logging, monitoring excersie, sleeping patterns, etc. Plus it's really small and you don't have to wear a band around your arm :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
