Would this work for a nursing mom? Will it also calculate calories I'm burning through breastfeeding?

I am also a nursing mom of a 4-month old and have been using the BodyBugg (similar product-same manufacturer different on-line tools) for 2 months and feel it has been pretty accurate. I have already reached my pre-pregnancy weight and am continuing to lose weight at a rate of just over 1 pound per week. I've found the online tools very helpful in tracking the quality of calories I'm eating (more protein, less "junk"). I'm not sure about the online program for this armband, but I think it could be a very helpful tool. Best of luck!

This product does not necessarily helps with lactation but if the mother is already breast feeding it will help draw out the milk, but not pump it out.

I use the app called digifit. I paid for all the upgrades...I think it was $8 and I don't know if I even use all those capabilities ! But that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned, I also have myfitnesstracker app and I can connect my calories burned into my daily food diary. It's really awesome all he stuff you can do. I love the Jarv!

Yes it will track calories. But why would you buy gps tracker just to track cals. See Times hrm.

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill. That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

It will count it as steps but it also picks up rigorous activities. You will have to sync it with your computer in order to view your stats. I love mine! I have it synced with myfitnesspal app. It keeps track of steps, calories burned, water in take, calorie intake, sleep, and you can set timers to remind you to move. It really is a great product. Only thing I don't like is that the hot pink doesn't stay hot pink long. I've had mine 2 weeks and already buying a black band because the pink looks dirty and I can't get it cleaned.

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

I'm not aware that it will track calories burned, however, it is a great heart rate watch.

No. And it doesn't do calories burned. It does not have a heart rate monitor. If it has this feature, I never paid attention to it because it was not something that was/is important to me.

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.

I try and use it, though it requires some more discipline from the person wearing the band than the step/sleep tracker. The barcode scanner works great IF nutrition info is available. I've found packaged items like wraps and salads from grocery stores don't always have the information. It's tough to always match food from a restaurant to what's in the existing library. It is a good feature, but keeping up with it requires you to do a little more work.

To quote the manual it has a Total Excersize Time & Calories burned setting (CA) Says it uses an advanced algorithm based on your personal Profile to estimate your maximum heart rate and calculate calories burned. If that will work with weight training as well as cardio I'm not sure.

Long as you have an app on your phone that will work with it to calculate calories burned. Here is the list of apps compatible with it http://www.wahoofitness.com/Apps/Apps/Blue-HR-133-CL.aspx Just find one on there that relates to the activity you want to do.

It is not "truly 100% accurate" but cose enough for most people's needs. A device that accurately measures your calorie burn is expensive and cumbersome and would need to measure more than just your heart rate.

In my understanding the watch is sensing my hand moving and assuming that i am walking if my hand has a wavy or rhythmic motion. So I'd think it will sense your lifting weights also as walking. Also hence the calories credited will not be corrected. ButI think their customer support can answer this best.

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.

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.
