I logged 12,375 steps for 456 calories. Of those 12,375 were running a 5k for 572 calories. I entered my 5k on the new feed. So did I just double my calorie burn by accident or did Fitbit already count my 5k calorie burn?

    If you entered the run on the Fitbit platform then it should deal with the double counting. If you've entered it through MFP then I think you're probably double counting.

    That said, 572 calories sounds very high for a 5K distance.
