The basic premise for losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume. For medical and aesthetic reasons, most humans seek to maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and consume foods that contribute to good health. One of the most complicated parts is knowing exactly how many calories we spend on a daily basis and during our exercise routine.

Burning calories is not limited to hours of intense physical activity in the gym, walking, carrying objects and even typing on the computer involves caloric expenditure. It is on that basis that Nike created its FuelBand, a discreet handle whose purpose is to help us measure the number of calories we actually spend and incentivize us to be more active.

This handle measures each of the calories we spend and transforms them into points. Through illuminated messages, the Nike + FuelBand tells us how close we are to our daily goal. You determine the number of calories you want to burn each day and the handle alerts you how close you are to the goal. The Nike + FuelBand app can be downloaded to any smartphone and computer to track your progress in detail. In addition, you have the option to share your achievements with your friends and family through the different social networks.
