**BODYMEDIA FIT/ BODYBUGG** OFFICIAL THREAD. is this real life?

[Chuck2600]

So do people still use this device? I still think it's great but I haven't visited this thread in a while and it seems the overall view has turned sour.

[Cumulonimbus]

I'm not sure what's worse: the people who obsess over it and ask 2,345 questions a day or the others who come into this thread or other threads in the Nutrition section and bash anyone who has one. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I use it because of what this forum has made it into.

I own one and use it daily, but I don't obsess over it like the other pussies who mentally masturbate over this and are scared to gain an gram of fat.

[Malkira]

I still use mine, but I only check when I shower and use it only really to trend from previous days. I never really eat more or less based on a single day.

Its really helped me personally see how much desk jobs suck and how much NEAT matters. I was off for two weeks for the birth of my son and I was burning around 3500 calories running around doing laundry, cleaning, getting my wife things, taking care of my daughter (all while not lifting).

I'm back at work sitting on my ass all day and lifting again, and I'm burning around 2500.

[Zarazen]

I just stopped wearing it after 5 weeks. Just got fed up. I'll have a go at it again when I start prepping for a contest.

[ErickStevens]

Interesting NEAT numbers for me:

18 holes of golf (Riding a cart) = ~800 calories
10 games of bowling = ~500 calories
45min of weigh training (including heavy ass deadlifts) = ~300 calories

[Cumulonimbus]

I burn 380-400 calories an hour at work, for 4-5 hours

NEAT > Cardio.

NEAT > Cardio.

Mind-blowing that people still don't get it.

What you see on the device is assuming everything works proper. I don't think people get that. They just think the device is off 10% max either way. I regret bringing this device to anyones attention. At first I felt bad, then I was fine with it hearing that it helped people but their are several that don't understand it and let it rule their lives. This is extremely unhealthy for many. As a matter of fact, don't even answer those last paragraph. I'm removing my subscription to this thread. I flat out refuse to help anyone. People are like, "herp derp, you're are gaining because you are in a surplus. Not losing weight? You're not in a deficit."

Like idiot central. Yes, meltdown.

WTF is going on in here guys?


This is a helpful device. It helps ESTIMATE your total daily burn. It is usually more accurate than a standard internet formula, which is why it is popular. Jesus Christ. So much drama and bull**** from a piece of plastic. Use it if you want, base your calories on it if you want and move on.

These^,Wow I haven't been in this thread for like maybe a week and it's gone to hell, anyone complaining or scared to follow it because they thing its wrong should just take it off and stop posting here. Sooooooo many of the same questions that can be answered by looking back a few pages. If I eat X when i was X b4 and now im gaining but I wanna cut does this mean the device is wrong? I eat X but I know its off by 10% does that mean its wrong? Should I start to eat X or should I slowly do it I dont wanna balloon. All been answered b4 unless your story is better do a search and stop creating traffic.

I burn more calories sleeping than I do at work. However, given how hot/humid it is on the eastern seaboard, I am thankful for this.

Same for me. The first ten days or so I had it, I was off work a lot and was averaging over 2300 calories a day. Now that I'm back to a more normal work schedule, I'm lucky to burn over 2100, even with going to the gym.

Clearly bodybuilding isn't for you if you can't wait another extra day to get a more accurate reading...

[mtruitt76]

Has anyone who uses the device compared their burn rates while on an ECA stack vs normal?

I did one week on an ECA stack there did not seem to be a difference in the amount of calories burned vs. normal, but I didn't monitor everything very closely either. Wonder if anyone has made a comparison.

You don't have to monitor your calories eaten if your looking at the extra burn your trying to get some said stack. If you didn't see a difference in calories burned then that's your answer.

I haven't used mine in weeks because I think it's kind of ugly and I don't like having it show with my short sleeve shirts. And I found that it overestimated my calories too much. I was much better off eating based on the formulas in the stickies than eating based off my BMF.

thats being a bit too obsessive imo. If you want to use ec stack, its great for appetite suppression, but for an extra burn? Its a minute difference

quick question fellas,

I purchased the device from a friend a few days ago and he said that he bought it a month ago. I asked him if he still has the subscription but he says that go to the site, make an account, I should get 1 month free after which I start paying.

I am a little confused here.

When I go to this link and click "No",

what should I select after this? Thanks!

If he still has a his subscription just log on to his and change all the info to fit you and you should be fine.

About 200 calories a day for me.

Once it gets a little cooler I'm going to start wearing it again and tracking better and I'll be sure to report back here.

That's not much at all IMO. If you can figure out (approximately) how much it is overestimating by, why can't you just compensate for it?

Always heard people say ECA increase metabolism. Was just saying I didn't notice a difference. Not sure how that qualifies as obsessive.

I haven't been able to upload to my MacBook since I got it a month ago. Yet I upload just fine on my dad's iMac. The IT guys are trying to figure out what's wrong but nothing yet.
