While I am at Gym. States on Treadmill I have burned 500 Calories. Why is my Fitbit 1 not registering that? It is only maybe registering 250 Calories. Why is that? Thanks Mags. X

They are two different technologies. They will never match.

@Mags11 Welcome to the Fitbit family! What you can do in that case is to log the treadmill activity manually on your dashboard. You will be able to add the calories manually for accurate results. 

 

Try that option and let me know how it works for you! Smiley Happy
