[posting this here bc the fitness comm is pretty dead]

I’m tryna track my calories more closely and I’ve got a solution for tracking the calories I eat (shout out to the Nutritionix app) but its functionality for tracking calories spent is very rudimentary and I want to get something more precise than just going to an online calculator like this.

If any of yall have recommendations on cheap wearables that’ll keep track of the calories I burn while exercising, I’d hugely appreciate it. I don’t need it to do anything else and I don’t even need it to connect to my phone, since I’m willing to manually input the number of calories burned every day.

    does heart rate measurement not allow more accurate estimates of calories burned than a calculation based on weight and distance run? i know nothing about biology so im open to being educated here, but i assumed a wearable that monitors your heart rate would be able to get better results than a calculator
