I recently changed from my Ionic (due to Fitbit’s recall) and changed to a sense. Since doing so my calories during workouts are non-existent.

according to my sense I am currently burning 1.5 calories a minute.

I may as well dig on the sofa if that’s the case.

is this an ongoing issue with the newer Fitbit’s’? I found my Ionic much better!

Check your weight, and that you have not turned off heart rate.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

I have the same issue with my sense. I don’t know how accurate the calories burned tracking is but I went from burning ~18k per week to 5k…and I’m doing the same amount of exercise if not more, eating the same, etc One day in January the calories totally dropped. I can’t figure out why?

I believe this is happening due to the continued heart rate inaccuracies which are tied directly to calorie tracking. The heart rate is a known issue and Fitbit is aware yet no fix as of yet. I’d suggest writing to them on Twitter, mostly they try to be helpful!
