Searched pretty hard but couldn't find a real answer. I'm having huge discrepancies in calories burned during workouts. On Friday I had a 58 minute workout burn 589 calories. Today I had a 60 minute workout with a higher average heart rate and higher peak heart rate that only burned 374 calories. Digging deeper in to the graphs I found a 5 minute period in each workout with an average HR of 144bpm. Fridays workout burned 12.3 calories/minute during that 5 minute period, where as todays workout only burned 6.2 calories/minute in that 5 minute period. Both were very similar workouts, todays felt somewhat more intense. Why would the one on Friday register as having burned so many more calories?

It's great to see you around @redbeard312.

 

Thanks for troubleshooting this by yourself and for the information provided. Can you please provide me with some screenshots of this information by following the instructions provided in this post, also can you tell how are you logging your activities? In the meantime, you can take a look at the How does Fitbit estimate how many calories I've burned? and How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? articles.

 

Hope to hear from you soon. Smiley Happy
