I'm a number junkie, I love knowing exactly how many calories I'm taking in, my macronutrient ratios and I'd always wanted to know how many calories I burn on a daily basis.

The packaging was very appealing; everything was nicely arranged so things didn't get deshuffled during shipping. I had almost no problems getting my Fuel band synced up to my computer or my iPhone.
