Calories Fitbit charge HR vs. Fitbit one

zinatara

I've just got a charge hr and I'm testing it out. Today I have been wearing both my new Fitbit and my old Fitbit one. I put on my one in the morning and at that time the I had 70 more calories on my charge. But now after several hours I have almost 330 calories more.

I think this is a big difference and since I used Fitbit to calculate how much I can eat I think it's a bit scary if it makes me eat too much, but at the same time I have a large calorie deficit and it's not good to eat too little.

Are both options really set the same on Fitbit's site?

Meaning old accounts had a Calorie Estimation option that while default was enabled, you might have disabled it.

New accounts don't have that option in the same place.

Both old and new accounts have that option also shown in Food Plan settings - Personalized or Sedentary.

You can read more about those in the FAQ in the stickies for this group, it would explain that difference easily.
