In my LoseIt! app I sometimes get a Fitbit Calorie Bonus.

How is this bonus calculated? I'm always happy to see it but I wonder where it is from.

There's a little blurb of info over on the loseit site.

 

The short answer is this: If your fitbit says you burned more calories for the day than LoseIt! estimated you would, you get the fitbit bonus. For me, I typically hit "the bonus" somewhere between 7,000-8,000 steps.

 

The long answer, via LoseIt!:

Does the bonus carry over to the next day? I woke up and it says I have already burned 1812 calories from fitbit, on my Loseit! app, but on my fitbit app it says I have burned 916. I'm still a bit confused.
