Does anyone know why my Fitbit ionic would be calculating more of a calorie burn than my surge Fitbit? I pretty much know what my body burns, by ionic is synced to the same information as my surge.  It just doesn't seem right?  Anybody had this happen to you?

@berkins1 Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

 

I'll be happy to clarify your question. It's pretty weird that your Fitbit Ionic is showing you different calorie information than your Surge. I would like you to make sure that all your personal information is properly entered in your Dashboard, you could check this article to know how does Fitbit estimate how many calories I've burned?

 

Also, could you reply to the following questions: 

- Are you receiving less or more calories burned?

- Are you using them at the same time?

- Have you compared your data using only your Ionic? 

 

Keep me posted about the calorie information you're receiving.
