Can someone explain why my Ionic has started knocking 300 calories of the total burnt about an hour after finishing an activity?

Fitbit are just spouting mumbo jumbo which suggests they don't know 

TIA

@Dicko2505 Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

 

Fitbit devices combine your basal metabolic rate (BMR)—the rate at which you burn calories at rest to maintain vital body functions (including breathing, blood circulation, and heartbeat)—and your activity data to estimate your calories burned. If your device tracks heart rate, your heart-rate data is also included, especially to estimate calories burned during exercise. The number you see on your Fitbit device is your total calories burned for the day. 

 

Since your Ionic will take into consideration your heart rate to track your calories burned, please follow the tips in this article to improve your heart rate reading: How do I track my heart rate with my Fitbit device? 

 

If you have a screenshot of your calories burned before and after the exercise, I would appreciate that you attach it to your next reply.

 

Keep me posted. I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
