What are you comparing the fitbit figures with? How do you know which is correct?

 

Could it be that you are not taking into account your BMR calories? These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive. There's more information on this here:

My chronometer is applying too many calories to the activity it downloads from fitbit.  For example, it downloaded 14 minutes of activity (walking), and added over 700 calories to my daily allowance.

Even though this thread is old, I have the same issue.

 

Wish there was a way to adjust Cronometer so just a percentage of exercise is applied to the calculation. For example: If I felt 700Cal was to much credit for 15 minutes of walking I could adjust Cronometer to lets say 75%. That way when a walked for 15 minutes I would only receive 525Cal credit, instead of the full 700Cal for example.
