I have not used my Fitbit yet today, but it already says I have lost over 100 calories today yet no steps have been recorded? I have noticed this before when the other day I had around 6,500, about a 3 mile range of steps with an absurd amount of calories burnt at a number of 2,339 calories burnt. This made me wonder if the Fitbit’s calorie count is wrong since the average human burns around 100 calories per mile.
