1. A computer device configured to be in communication with an identification memory located on a user's body and an attached sensor configured to monitor user activity, the computer device comprising:
a receiver configured for receiving identifying information from the identification memory and the sensor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium that contains multiple algorithms for calculating energy expenditure values; and
a processor programmed with computer-executable instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform the steps comprising:
receiving the identifying information from the identification memory and the sensor data, through the receiver, wherein the identifying information identifies at least one of a location in proximity to the user, a location of the identification memory on the user's body, and an article of athletic equipment to which the identification memory is attached;
selecting an algorithm from the multiple algorithms based on the identifying information; and
calculating energy expenditure values from the sensor data using the algorithm.
