Does anyone use their fitbit to track steps on myfitnesspal? I did and it seems like the calorie amount i'm burning is waaay too high. I got 400 something calories burned for only 4900 steps. I read earlier that 2000 steps only burns 100 calories. Anyone have any insight on this issue? TIA

Welcome to the Forums @dnhunter87!

 

Let me answer your question!

 

It is important to note that not everything that you read online is necessarily true. There's a bit more nuance to the whole thing. I'd recommend that you try reading this help article which explain a bit more on how Fitbit estimates the calories that you have burnt. I'm sure that it will clarify the situation.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
