Inaccurate calorie count during exercise

[Cnegrea56]

After 1 hour of spin or stairs, calorie count is 65! How can I correct the actual calories?

Welcome to the Community @Cnegrea56. Did you manually log an activity? If you do, can you tell me which activity you logged? Since there are some activities that might take away some calories. Also, I recommend checking your personal information, specially your weight and height.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
As custom activities, I have logged on stair climb (my stair master). On the machine, after one hour, it red 600cal. On the Fitbit (I turned it on manually when I started), it logged about 60 or 80 calories.
The same happened with my 45 minutes spin class.
I just rechecked my personal information and I entered it correctly.

Hi,

I'm finding the same problem with my Blaze! How did you fixed it?

[Cnegrea56]

I have not . I go into my app, in the exercise section. At top right there
is a clock icon. Click on it and I customize what I did, and delete the
erroneous one. Heart rate will be automatically added to my customized
entry.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for the quick reply.
You do this all the time or your Fitbit started to work better?

Is it subtracting the bmi that you have been given credit for from the total calories burned during the excercise? For example if bmi is 159 an hour even sleeping and you go for a run burning 600 calories an hour would you expect to see 441 captured for the run?

I realize I am responding to an old post but this is where I ended up during my search and I'm new to the this forum.  Anyway, my Blaze seems to count calories fairly accurately except on a Stairmaster.  My average burn rate for cardio (treadmill, eliptical, etc) is about 85 calories every 10 minutes.  My Blaze recorded less than half that on the Stairmaster, and I had selected Stairclimber on the device before beginning the exercise.  I know I burn more calories on a Stairmaster than any other machine. Any idea what the problem is?

Thank you for the idea. I will try.
