Meaure How Many Calories You Burn

A new gadget was featured in an article in the July 2010 Wired magazine. It straps onto your upper arm kind of  like a watch and it “captures your calorie burn with an astonishing 90% accuracy” according to the website for this gadget. The device is part of their holistic weight management system.

I wonder how this works. Do you watch the monitor to see how many calories you have burned so far and then get up and run around if you haven’t burned enough? I should watch their video, but I am running off to a meeting, maybe later!
