For the past week my Fitbit hasn’t been logging my calories burned correctly. I went from burning 300+ calories during a workout to burning 90 for the same workout. Then, when I sync the device to my app the calorie count doesn’t even match. Am I the only one having this problem?

It's great to see you here, @Jennienitt.

 

Calorie burn is based on two factors: your basal metabolic rate (or BMR) and activity tracked by your device. For more details, I recommend checking the help article: How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?.

 

Let me know if you need anything else.
