Why so many calorie options?

fortheholyspirit

Spin bike states I burned 211 calories for a intense 13 mile bike ride. Mfp states its 700+. My fitbit also says I burned 3,349 calories for a six mile walk. Whats accurate and how do you choose?.

Your Fitbit burn is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. Trust your Fitbit.

Do not log any step-based activity. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.
