I have been researching the Body Bugg for a long time and recently decided it was time to try it out. Luckily Christmas was coming up = great early present from my awesome husband. I have been wearing my bugg for one week and it is amazing!
You wear it on your arm and it keeps track of the calories you burn throughout the day (with 90% accuracy). There is also a computer aspect to the program. You enter the foods you eat and it tells you total calories consumed. If you want to maintain your current weight the calories consumed and burned should be about the same. If your goal is to lose weight you need a deficit. Pretty easy!
There is also a watch that you can get with the Bugg that I think is essential. It keeps track of your calories burned and shows them in real time. I don't have to wait until the end of the day or even hook my bugg up to the computer to see my progress. You can also set the watch to record the calories burned from one point to the next. I now know how many calories each workout normally burns. How cool is that!!!
But the coolest part about it is the nutrition graphs and pie charts it makes based on what you have eaten. I can glance at the graphs and see how much calcium, cholesterol, carbs, protein, and fat I have taken in for the day. If there is a problem (not enough calcium) I can tweak my menu to fix the problem. I LOVE this! I'm a fitness nut and I enjoy learning about nutrition. So this Christmas present was perfect for me :) And I get to use it everyday!!!
I should also add that there is a sale going on right now (ends today) that lowers the price drastically. I have been watching the price for about a year and I have never seen it this low. If your interested google Body Bugg and check out the prices at Apex or 24 hour Fitness.
