Before I start I know my BMR, I have updated my ht/wt/age/etc..I have had a MS Band 2 for last 18 months and have wore it everyday,and I mean everyday, only took off to clean and charge.  So I know all my vitals/calories/food/exercise.  I have lost over 65 pounds using the Band.  The only reason I went back to fitbit becasue I like the ecosystem for fitbit.  Challenges/friends etc... My BMR is 2k a day burned, 3k to 3.5k with my exercise routines, With my routine I know how much each exercise will burn plus or minus my effort on my exercise.  The Blaze has me buring 2k calories by 3 pm, and I usually don't even get close to 2k burned until about 1130pm.    So my question is why is my calorie burn so high, I'm frustrated because I want to keep the blaze, but won't if it doesn't even come close to the MS Band.  I know the MS Band has the best HR of all the bands, but I want the blaze to come close.  Is my band bad or is it something I'm missing.

Update-I did an weight training and treadmill running yuesterday with both bands.  Although they were drastically off on each exercise, in the end the total calorie burn was within 100 calories of each other.

MS band: Weight lifting calories burned-686 calories

Blaze: weight lifting calories burned-484 calories

MS Band Treadmill running calories burned-274 calories

Blaze Treadmill running calories burned-552

Total for MS Band- 960 calories burned

Total for Blaze-1036

76 Calorie difference.  

But if I had did one exercise and not two, It would have been drastically under depending on what exercise I had did.
