No it doesn't. It does calculate the % of calories burned that come from fat though,

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.

Mine did not, my seller sells the original unit as an optional extra. The unit counts calories used, distance covered and elapsed time.

Yes, unless you never move your arms...! The unit strongly picks up arm movement, maybe even above foot movement. It would be useful to pause and check heart rate. That allow unit to figure calorie burn through the day, and particularly during activity.

You are able to enter your weight (between 66 pounds and 330 pounds), which allows it to calculate how many calories you burn during your activity. Heart rate is displayed in real time as you are working out.

Hi Sandra - this watch (the Polar F7) will allow you to view the calories burned, as well as your heart rate and zone. The data for these are on different screens, so they won't show simultaneously, but you can view the information easily by scrolling through the screen displays. (I believe there are around five screen displays, showing time of day, calories burned, time spent exercising, heart rate/zone). Good luck!

Yes. There is a weight setting and it does count your calories. What I like most is that you won't be overwhelm with features.

yes it does. It also shows heat reate, miles,speed and has preprogrammed modes to follow if you wish. You can also set the workout timer to workout for the amount of time you desire. I love it! I use it almost daily

It DOES show calories burned. The two people below are wrong. After you completed the workout you get a summary of how long the work was, how long you were in the "zone" (set up by you), avg hr, max hr, calories burned. I had this watch for about 4 years now.

Nope. You have to find an online calculator to calculate calories burned based on heart rate.

I only use it while I work out to see calories burned during exercise so I know how much to eat to recover. I don't know how accurate it would be to monitor calories burned all day long as I doubt it takes in resting energy expenditure /basil metabolic rate.

not sure what you mean by metabolism. But if you are asking whether it tracks calories burned - then yes. And it does it two ways. First it has a baseline that is determined by the height and weight information that you enter. And then, when you take your heart rate - it will calculate the calories based upon that for a time period (not sure how long it takes to go back to the baseline). It's the only one I found in this price range that does that.

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

It also shows how many calories you will burn per hour, based on your weight (that you enter into the machine when you begin your workout). The online manual is here - the display features are on page 25:http://www.flaman.com/fitness/manual/BFX_3-5-7_Series_OM.pdf

If you set up an online account, you can log in and see how many calories you have burned on your runs. I have mine set up to sync to my computer and upload the data whenever I come near my computer.

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.
