I go to bootcamp and all the girls are burning at least 100 calories or more than me. I have the correct age height and weight for me. Most of the girls are close to my weight and age. Is there anything I can check on?

@Wendyjo407 Welcome to the Fitbit family! Have you double checked on your profile if your personal data is correct?

If it is, then this is probably happening because the weight, age, and height are not the same as yours. Even if it is just a small difference. Because they are different, the BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is different too. I think those extra 100 calories they burn is because of the BMR. Check this article for more details on this. 

However, if you feel that your watch is under counting calories, please perform a restart on it. That should help you out.

Keep me posted! Smiley Happy
