I do two hours of martial arts training twice a week and have to remove my Blaze for this, so I log the time either through the app or the website. However, the amount of calories it estimates for 120 minutes of 'martial arts' varies depending where I log it - and by a lot, too. The app estimates around 800 (varying with my weight of course), but the site estimates it at 1,444... Now, I always though 800 was far too low given the intensity of the workout - I get more than that from much easier cardio when I'm actually wearing the Fitbit - but 1,444 seems crazily high. Why are they so different with neither of them seeming right?

Hey @Jonesey83. It's great to see you in the Community! 🙂

This is very strange as both loggings with the same information given should be the same. I'd recommend logging out of your Fitbit app and logging back in with the same email address and password. Once you log back in, try to log the activity and then try to log it from your online dashboard. If you notice any discrepancy again, please take a screenshot of each and attach it to your reply to this post and that way, I will be able to escalate it to our team for them to review it.

Thanks for your participation and anything else, I'm here to help!
