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

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

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.

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

The treadmill's console shows calories burned, steps taken, miles walked and other info. If you have a heart rate monitor will also display your heart rate. It is a good sturdy machine.

I think it does. I had to input my weight when setting it up so I figured it was to calculate calories lost.

Not that I am aware not what it does do is tell you on ur workouts how muvh percentage of fat u burned for each workout .. gives not just the calories u burn but also the percentage of body fat an exercise uses .. which is great info .. if u want to calculate body fat i used the Omronweight/body fat scales also sold on amazon

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

exercise machines are wrong when it comes to the total calories burned. I'd go by what the heart monitor says. It sucks I know. I made the same mistake. I thought i was burning 600 calories on my elliptical and was eating according to burning that many calories and gained weight.

Yes, you have to use the chest strap to read your heart rate. It calculates everything (calories burned, etc.) from you heart rate.

It does not know haw many calories you take in. As for calories burned, it uses a calculation of your profile and level of activity to estimate their use. It may work as a good guide if you keep and electronic or notebook of your intake.

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.

No, the only way it will show calories burned is if you use a heart rate monitor

You can do any excercise with it. Having said that, it will only tell you how many calories you've burned and what your heart rate it. There is not a function that will tell you how many stairs you've climbed or what pace you're climbing them.

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.

If you want an accurate read on number of calories burned, steps taken, distance walked in a day then yes...but I only wear during my workouts to get a sense of what I've done during that workout. It's really up to you.

Yes you can enter your weight. It also does tell how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

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.
