App calculating calories burned

[Iamnotageek]

Hey guys,

So I've picked up weight and am going to start doing morning / evening walks.

Is there an Android app that measures on the fly how many calories you've burned? I know last time I had this app that measured my heart rate by placing my finger over my camera and it measured my heart rate on the fly via the pulses or whatever through my finger. Great app.

But is there perhaps one that measures calories burned like that perhaps?

Example: I do a brisk walk for 10 minutes and somehow by placing my finger or whatever on my phone it can measure calories burned in those 10 minutes. I think there are those smart watches that do it, but I'm not sure if the device has to be on your body or whatever for the duration of the exercise.

Runtastic.

Yes, you have to have a device attached to you, maybe get a fitness band(not a smartwatch).

Google Fit might be a good place to start, I'm not sure how accurate it is though.
I'd personally look at getting something like a Fitbit.

Thx so much for the replies guys.

I see Takealot has these fitness bands.

Can recommend MiBand 3 Just for this. Doubles as Smartwatch that does weather, time and read SMS/WhatsApps also vibrate alerts for calls and such

23-30 Day charge cycle and Waterproof is what won me over. No need to remove for showers or even @ night to charge.
