Calories burned from a workout

[Tcup]

Are the calories calculated from a workout, automatically incorporated into the calories burned? Or is it separate? Just want to make sure they are not being double counted and in turn, hurting my progress.

For example, if you burn 200 calories on the treadmill is it added to your calorie burn for the day or are you "up" burned calories?

Thanks!

Ok - let's say you woke up, went to the gym and looked at your Fitbit before you started on the treadmill. Let's also say your fitbit indicated you'd burned 1000 calories.

After you walked one mile on the treadmill, your fitbit says you've burned 1120 calories.

So, fitbit is estimating your caloric burn at 120 calories for that time you spent on the treadmill.

So I guess, the short answer is yes, the calories you burned on the treadmill are already added as you work out.

If you do weight lifting, or swimming, though, the fitbit has a rougher time keeping track. Essentially, it doesn't. A shame Fitbit can't measure EPOC, lol. (that'd be realistically unlikely for any affordable contraption to do with portability)

You can look up what the calories are and add them in separately as an activity logged in on your dashboard.  I do this when I use the eliptical because I use a high level and a high incline which fitbit does not track.  I usually do 45 minutes which is about 400 calories.  

The calories will then be added to your amount for the day.

Actually, to the original question.

When you manually add a workout, it replaces, not adds, to the calories of the day. Therefore there is no doubling up, or which might be the case, partial doubling.

That's why the specifics of start time and duration when you add a workout.

Walking and running manually added also replace steps and miles along with calories.

Other activities just the calories is replaced.
