[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok - in the run vs walk vein, I have a question. I like to do both / either depending on the weather, my mood, how my body's feeling, what workout I did the day before, etc. So on Tuesday I did a 4.7 mi HIIT run (44 min / 9:21 avg pace including walking cool down at the end). Fitbit said 6,880 steps and 430 calories. 138 avg bpm Today I did a 4.4 mi brisk walk (1:07 min / 15:30 avg pace). Fitbit said 8,012 steps and 495 calories. 115 avg bpm What? I have always assumed that Fitbit's calorie burn calculation is some combo of steps taken and heartrate right? Yet my shorter distance (longer time) walk burned 15% more calories? What am I missing?[/quote] You are missing the fact that devices that calculate calorie burn through exercise are HIGHLY inaccurate. You should never rely on then to figure out energy balance. That is "my fit bit said I burned 600 calories during my run guess I can eat an extra 600 calories"[/quote]
