How long are your HIIT sessions and what Fitbit are you using? 800 calories sound quite high for a female in anything less than an hour long, and a one-hour HIIT session sounds very long (by definition, HIIT is something so intense you can’t sustain it for very long). I would just keep whatever calories Fitbit said I burned, and if it’s more than that in reality, I would view the extra calories as a bonus. There are 24 hours in a day, and what you do in 30 minutes (no matter how intense it is) can’t make that much of a difference anyway.

I had the same problems with my Fitbit when I did Orangetheory. I absolutely loved OTF, the blend of high-intensity interval cardio and then the second half consisting of strength training. The heart-rate monitor they strap around your chest usually recorded (depending on how hard I pushed myself during the cardio portion) between 600-800 calories burned after the full hour was complete. My Fitbit never tracked with the chest strapped heartrate monitor. Since my hour was tracked with a heart-rate monitor I just started removing my Fitbit for that hour and then adding my recorded calories burned manually. Personally I think the discrepancy comes from the second half of the class that focuses on strength training. Some of the movements for those exercise don't seem to track particularly well with Fitbit.
It's too bad OTF is expensive; it's one of the few exercise programs I enjoyed enough to stick with. I should find a way to get back to it.
