Does it have a calorie counter?

Yes it does. I just got mine going 2 weeks ago. I like it. It is several programs or you can ride manually. It does track calories, has a timer, a pulse rate monitor and can be used to give a recovery report based on pulse. The calorie counter is the 3rd number from the bottom in the functions it is monitoring. My calories counter always runs when in use in the manual mode and I assume always.

The instructions for the computer indicate that it does have a calorie accumulator. But I have not tried to use this feature.

I don't know. I put the unit together the night before I left for Australia. I will let you know when I get home and have a chance to use the unit.

It will count the steps and base the calories, etc on steps, but whether it counts it as workout minutes depends on whether you move for 10 minutes straight without stopping. I have yet to have it pick up any of my workouts as "workout minutes/calories" because I do not move constantly when I am working out. I will admit that I am rather disappointed with this particular feature. I workout at the gym for an hour 2-3 times per week but because of knee issues, I use machines, so there are breaks between the exercises. Thus, my workouts never get recorded as such.

No, the Fitbit Zip does not. However you can sync it with MyFitness Pal for the food and it will show calories burned vs. calories eaten.

As mention in my review, I use "MapMyFitness" apps. It contains calories and heart rate monitoring.

The display screen will count calories, track time on treadmill, and tells you the distance you walked. However, you are not able to enter your weight in and the calories are just a general calories burned opposed to being accurate for your weight. It does have a heart rate monitor built on display. The calories, time and distance will rotate between those numbers instead of having them stationary on the screen. The treadmill has (I think) around 6 different workout settings that are preset. The display screen will also show you what looks like a track and you are able to see how far along you are in the workout etc. Hope this helps!

No the bike does not have any meter system at all. If you need those things look to buy a separate meter. Maybe one that monitors heart rate and tells you how many calories you have gone through. You could use the same kind of meter when you just walk.

Yes. Calories is one of the items it monitors and shows on the screen. I've never ridden with it displayed, though. I usually have the 'clock' or 'distance' on display.

I dont remember off hand but if you go on the Annamet website, each type of food will list calorie count.

No, though it will give a calorie burn count based on revolutions and resistance.

Yes, it does. Also the date, how many calories you have burned, how many miles you have walked, how many more steps to meet your goal and how many steps you have taken each day.

Mine does not directly count calories but it does give me a very useful and generally accurate index of my level of activity during the day often at variance with what I had believed to be my level of activity. I can then interpret my activity into calories consumed in a general and useful way. It thus helps me balance my activity with my food intake and my body weight. Overall, I have found it surprisingly useful.

It doesn't count your intake of calories, but with the right app it will track how many calories you are burning during physical activity.

Hi Maria, thank you for your enquiry. There is no pedometer function, though the watch has calorie counter, heart rate monitor, alarm, chronograph, and exercise mode - plus it looks good! :) Cheers! The CompressionZ Team

Yes, it does measure calories burned. . .I just can't say what it's calculated off of. It displayed calories burned for any activity, but I doesn't seem to be at a different rate for slow-paced walking vs. sprinting. I can't recommed this product for anything other than the clock.

I have only used mine for running. It shows your calories burned on the display, however the heart monitor is sold separately.

No, and you don't need a "calorie counter". The numbers that heart rate monitors and exercise machines report as "calories burned" are basically just made up "estimates". Every body's metabolism is different, and even for the same person your metabolism does not work the same all the time. "Calories burned" is estimated so loosely that it is for all intents and purposes total guess work. Instead pay attention to how much time you are spending in your target heart zone. Your max heart rate is 208 - (0.7 x your age). Ultimately your target zone should be 70% to 80% of your max heart rate but you will of course have to start somewhere less than that and work your way up. You need to pay attention to how much time you spend in the target zone - 20 to 30 mins per day gives you the maximum cardiopulmonary benefit, above and beyond that is for endurance training or competitive purposes. This doesn't count stretching and warm up at the beginning or cool down and stretching at the end. All told, for cardio-pulmonary health, about an hour a day will give you most of the benefits possible. You can of course exceed that, but you won't get that much more in the way of cardio-pulmonary health. Regardless of how much time you spend working out, the "calories burned" estimates really don't mean a thing. Just train to your target zone, stay in there at least 20 to 30 mins, don't forget stretching and warmu-up/cool down, and everything will fall into place. Pay more attention to inches lost than weight loss - as you put on muscle mass, it takes up less space than the fat so inches will melt off faster than the weight. You are replacing flabby fat with firm muscle and the muscle does weigh more. Anyway you don't need to worry about "calories burned" - pay attention to your training zones because that's where the benefits are. None of these devices can give you an accurate estimate of how many "calories" you are "burning".

I have never used it to count calories actually I used it as a timer, a watch and a heart beat monitor. it did that well when it was working
