Calories counted incorrectly during road bike rides

Hello 

When I wear my Fitbit Charge 3 for road bike rides, the calorie count is insanely low. I regularly bike 20-25 miles, at 16-17 mph, and go for longer rides once a week. The Fitbit will say that I burned around 300 calories for the 20-25 mile rides. What the heck?  A variety of bike calorie calculators indicate that a ride like this should burn 1100-1200 calories.  I followed recommendations and moved the Fitbit further up my wrist; that ride recorded less than 300 calories. I sync the Charge 3 with my phone and keep the Fitbit app running on my phone, with location allowed all of the time. Any ideas???  This is totally frustrating.
