Hey guys, re-joined MFP today and I'm a little confused as to whether to go with the calorie burn reading on my Fitbit or the calories MFP says I've burned when I go to log my workouts?
Anybody know which one is likely to be the most accurate?

    I struggle with the same question. The only thing I can see to do is to pick one and do it for a month and see if you maintain, gain or lose. Since fitbit calculates your non exercise burn as well as your exercise burn it is difficult to know how accurate it is.
