I am confused ...so on my fibit sense it doesn't track treadmill ..so after I work out after 1 hour I inputted my calories manually I did on my treadmill..I did 500 calories burned on treadmill...prior to inputting it my calorie out put was 1200 ...my question is this..Did my fibit sense already calculated my Calories before I input my treadmill excercise manually? So am I a total now 1200 calories or is it 1700 with my manual input of my treadmill..

Hello @Laura1963 Welcome to the Community Forums! 

 

For information about how your Fitbit device tracks your calories, please check: How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

 

Regarding your inquiry, if you manually logged the activity, you will see that the calories you input for your activity will increase the calories amount on the Fitbit App. This will also be reflected on your Fitbit device once it syncs. Now, if you wear the Fitbit device for an activity and then you manually log the activity; take into consideration that the manually log activity will override the data tracked by your Fitbit device. 

 

Keep me posted.
