    I do not find the calorie adjustment from Fitbit to be inflated AT ALL. On a day I get my full 10,000 steps, my Fitbit might say I burned about 200 calories more than if I sat on my rear end the whole day. I actually manually log all my exercise and let those higher calorie burn estimates override what my Fitbit said.

    I wish my UP3 were this conservative. It's giving me about 900 EXTRA calories per 10k steps right now.

    What is your activity level set to? If you have it set to sedentary, you will get a larger adjustment from 10K steps than if you have it set to active or whatever.

    Yes, it is sabotage. Ignore the calorie adjustment completely, it is ridiculously inflated.

    Some people do find the calorie adjustment to be inflated. Others (including myself) find it to be very accurate.

    I also have a high opinion of my fitbit's adjustments.

    When I was lifting weights, I manually entered that activity and found that I was continuing to lose about a pound a month despite the numbers indicating I should be maintaining - When I dropped the weight lifting and the only exercise adjustment was the step count, I found it right on the money. Particularly useful for me is the 30-day rolling graph of CI-CO (syncs with MFP for food).
