I took a class at the gym. Various exercises some not on app.

My fitbit says I burned 973 calories. How to I add that?

Thanks

    If you're using Fitbit anyways, you should probably just link it to MyFitnessPal. https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039592171-Fitbit-FAQ-and-Troubleshooting

    What Durden said, assuming you wear the Fitbit nearly 24x7.

    If you don't, and just use it during exercise sessions, you can log the exercise manually. You can override the default calorie number on any MFP-defined exercise or create your own custom exercise. Be careful, though: Sometimes the number a fitness tracker gives you as exercise calories will include the calories you would've burned just being alive, and MFP has already accounted for those being-alive calories, plus the assumption you'd been doing a little daily life movement in that time slot. Syncing the fitness tracker would take care of all that arithmetic.
