Will it count calories when sitting working at a desk or just watching tv? need comprehensive calorie counter.

Yes if you wear the band. This is only a display of your numbers. You MUST wear the Body Media armband. The display will then show your calories burned. It's also easier if you purchase the monthly online service because it will show in graphs, etc. how you are doing, including sleep. Again, this is the display only so it doesn't track anything unless you wear the band. I use a different device now but I have always said that the Body Media armband is the "cadillac" of calorie/step monitors. Amazon sells the armband from Body Media. Check that out to get the full scope of information.

Only if you wear the breast strap, which would be rather uncomfortable. I have the Basis now, which does that, but is not very good at measuring calorie consumption during activity. In any case, calorie count during sleep is rather uninteresting - the Basis shows I burned some 500 cal between midnight and 6:30 am and I would bet that this is within 10% of what it shows any other day, even after a hard workout when the actual consumption is higher. If you look for calorie count, I'd go with a Polar for workout and a Fitbit or similar with MyfitnessPal for the rest.

Yes, if you connect it to My Fitness Pal it will tell you you have burned so many calories and now have them to enjoy! There is a fork and knife on the UP application that you can put your foods eaten into. I haven't used it, but it tracks your foods. It is seriously one of my most favorite posessions, and many people at work are now wearing them.

It does an estimated calorie count based on the amount of steps you take. It won't factor in any other activity.

You have to wear the chest strap for it to indicate your heart rate. I do not think this device would register calorie burn.

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.

Yes it sure does. It tells you the amount of calories that you have burned and is read as kcalories.

Short answer: yes. Long answer: when you begin your work out, you hit a start/stop button. This starts a timer and begins keeping track of the various other things: calories, avg hr, etc. If you don't start the timer, you don't get those things tracked. It also has a lap button, to help with tracking pace, if you're a runner, swimmer or cyclist. I don't use that feature myself, so can't speak to it.

No, it does not count calories. This is an old model computer and I'm not sure it's even for sale anywhere. I have three of these on three different bikes and one is a replacement for one that went haywire. My next one will use digital wireless signal instead of analog like the Vectra, which sometimes freezes up when I use a high-power headlight.

Yes, but to get accurate reading you must touch the screen during your workout to get precise calorie burn reading.

Yes it includes speed, cadence and heart rate. Also calories burned but I question it's accuracy because its calorie number is alor less than the numbers I get with Polar and Sigma monitors.

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".

It tracks an "estimated" amount I think based on your height/ weight, and adds to this number based on your steps. So, yes, it records calories burned even while you sleep.

You have to wear to the heart strap detector to measure your heart rate and hence calculate the calories. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback, I finally did buy the Exerpeutic with the rolling lifetime table and you're right, it perfect. I have it setup in front of my 40" Sony and the laptop is monitored to the big screen, and it works great.. I think I may still need a gel cushion for the seat (due to being on it almost the full 8 hour day). and yes at simple cruising speed it appears (according to the computer) I'm knocking off over 2000 calories per day. Even if the computer isn't accurate, hell , I'm happy with half of that.

I have the female version (gray with pink stripe) forerunner 110 and it DOES track calories! It displays once you've completed your run and saved it. Calories will appear underneath your time when you view your runs under the "History" option.

yes, i believe the calorie counter does not clear daily all the way or it moves really fast and is not accurate..... but i have enjoyed the count of the steps i take daily and keeping up the daily miles i take....
