Does entering your heart rate affect calories burned?

Just wondering if Fitbit takes those heart rates and uses them to help more accurately calculate how many calories are burned... any idea?

Pretty sure it doesn't.

 

However, I use Digit & Polar H7 hear rate monitor for any actual exercise.

This calculates the calories (as well as much more detailed info) and sends it to FitBit .

Thanks Chris, do you happen to know if Digifit works with the Health app by Apple?

Yes it does.

Get the iBiker app. It's the exact same app as Digifit, simply with a different name. and iBiker has been updated for Health app.

You log in using yoru Digifit account and it sync all your info as Digifit app. I have both and have conferred with Digifit on this.

FYI: The link posted by Dominique is 2 weeks old when nothing worked with Health app because Apple had issues.
