Does it count calories?

Nowhere in this little booklet is the word "calorie" found. It can keep you apprised of what percentage of your Max Heart Rate you are at. My two cents: According to current concepts, to lose fat you have to challenge yourself to get that HR up, 85% of max or so, for several brief intervals, for no more than 20-25 minutes total exertion time. You should be panting. ...Plodding away at a mid-range for an hour to purportedly burn fat only trains your body that it needs to acquire more fat to burn next time.

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

Yes, it tells the amount of calories burned. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and fat burned.

Calories yes! But the heart rate you need an ANT or Bluetooth HR monitor in addition to this device. I have to advise in good conscience that I returned this device TWICE after weeks of trying to make it work. The issue was the wildly off distance and GPS readings, it would under-report by a couple of miles, the motorolla customer support didnt have a clue why its happening. I returned the original one with the hopes the replacement will work but same issues. Its a shame, the device is beautiful.

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

The answer is no but realistically there's no reliable calorie counter that is affordable. Besides it's irrelevant. Work out- burn calories.

No it doesn't. It has 3 possibilities for activities--steps, miles, and calories. It also will give heart rate by pushing and holding one button. I don't know how it calculates calories.

For each run, it does calculate calories burned. But you cannot keep a running count of the calories.

I use my polar f6 for swimming in the pool and it measures my heartrate well. I do not know if the calorie count is accurate in the water since heart rate usually lowers. Maybe I just need to work harder?

The calorie count is based upon the heart rate feedback from the chest strap. You cant have one without the other.

No it doesn't. It does a great job of telling you your current weight, but doesn't save it.

This one does distance, steps taken and calories. I always question how accurate the calories are on these little pedometers but then I question that on any exercise machines also. Let's face it, if we eat too much we know it.

Thanks. Since then I've noticed that it does it both ways. Sometimes the site is higher in calories than the Display. But I'll live with it. It is usually within 100 calories and the activity is usually with in 5 minutes.

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

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.

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

It seems to measure your calories burned based on you checking your heartrate. I have noticed while in the midst of exercising and I check my heartrate with the watch, after it gets a clear read on my heart, the calories burned display shows either more or less calories in the totals.
