I've just got the new blaze and while it's great I'm just wondering if the calorie count is at all accurate.
I've been sitting in a car driving up a motorway from 9.30am til 7.30pm and blaze tells me I've burned 2018 calories. Can this be in away true?

It could well be true.

 

As well as tracking calories you burn through activity, your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings (age, weight etc) so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories since midnight.

Cheers for the reply. I'll just and tuck into another bit of cake to get those calories up. 😉
