How accurate is calories burned?

Fitbit doesn’t do great at tracking my exercise (doesn’t always recognize when I’m biking or swimming for example) but it has my heart rate and gives me “active zone” minutes so are my calories/energy burned an accurate number? I want this to be a part that works!!

Calorie burn is based on heart rate.  It doesn't really matter whether Fitbit sees it as part of an exercise session or not.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
