Wondering why my calorie burn is double counting since I got the Fitbit charge HR? I am logging exercise into my fitness pal with the start time accordingly but my numbers seem to be doubling up

Hey @Cushman68, sounds like MFP and Fitbit are sending each other the same exercise. There's a great post from @SunsetRunner that might help explain why your calorie burn is doubled.

 

Hope that helps! 🙂
