i just worked out for 33 minutes I ran a mile and half, rode excerise bike and rowed on the rowing machine. My Fitbit Hr Charge only said I burned 77 calories. I usually burned over 300 calories when I use my heart rate strap.
Any ideas what my Fitbit is doing?? I just received it today for my birthday.

    Click the adjustment in your diary to see the math MFP used to calculate it. You've burned 77 calories more than your MFP activity level.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Edited to add that the day you set up your Fitbit it has to guesstimate your TDEE since midnight, so your first day's burn is always a mess. And my adjustments were wonky at first but they got better—as if MFP was "learning" my routine.
