Hi, I have a query relating to calorie count.
I used my fitbit watch and MapMyRun (synced to fitbit) to track an exercise.
The fitbit said i burned 1,240 calories and MapMyRun calculate 768 calories.
The fitbit app has used the MapMyRun and not the calories from the watch as the calorie count for the piece if exercise.
I would like to know why? I would expect the watch to have a more accurate calculation than MapMyRun, is this not the case?
I've looked at the forum and can't find the answer.
Thank you
Elaine
