Calorie count deficit after workout on peloton app/bike

Hi

Curious if anyone else who uses peloton to record workouts is noticing that the calorie count from peloton to Fitbit is off by approximately 250 calories deficit.  I noticed this about 2 weeks ago.  When I refresh my Fitbit app the calorie count jumps all over the place ( like with the steps issue awhile back) and then settles calorie count with a deficit between the 2 apps.   If I manually add a workout with the 250 deficit to make it even the calorie count only goes up by 2-3 calories.

i know calorie burn is not accurate no matter what device is being used but it gives a range.  I do wear a chest strap polar hr monitor when working out so I think that’s more accurate to calorie count.

any thoughts on this..

thx

Yes I’m having exactly the same issue. I’ve done a 30 minute and a 20 minute ride today and my calories burned are far less then they would normally be at this time of day.

Hi

Thank you. I thought I was the only one. At this point it’s still
happening. It’s been like this for at least 3 weeks. I also notice that
when I’m done with a workout and I refresh Fitbit app, the calorie count is
all over the place and then settles at less than the peloton app. It’s
like what happened with the step count awhile back. It would go up and
down . Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
