I got my fitbit yesterday so its all very new and havent quite worked it all out yet, but I decided to sync it with my fitness pal as i am used to logging my calories there. I went to a 45 min legs bums and tums class this morning, forgot to set fitbit to exercise mode..doh! but anyway it showed up on my fit bit app as 45 mins exercise, and logged it at about 360 cals burned. When I synced to my fitness pal it said to only log cals and exercises on MFP so as to avoid double entries...on my diary after syncing it was automatically showing the 360 cals burned for cardio exercise...I went into the exercise part and added my LB&T clas as step aerobics with 10/12" step as that seemed the closest match, I put my start time in and duration and it gave me a calorie burn of 476 cals. I assumed it woudl overwrite the 360 cals with new total, funny thing is though when I go to my fitness pal diary is now says I've burned 631 cals with exercise...I can't work out for the life of me where that total has come from! Fit Bit shows 476 cals burned from Aerobics and 132 cals from 26 mins walking. Anyone have any idea whats happened here? MFP is now giving me a massive 1828 daily cal alllowance! Was previously 1200 with no exercise logged. I know that if I ate that much I would not lose weight and all this exercise woudl be in vain!
