Love my Fitbit Flex and I find it to be fairly accurate. Assuming you link your fitbit account to MFP sometimes I get weird calorie subtractions in the morning until I've done some steps...but other than that...it just needs to be close to keep my on my toes. Enjoy your new Fitbit!0

I have a One. I like it. Looking at a low number is incentive to get up and walk the long way around the building for a coffee. That being said - I think it tends to over-estimate calorie burn. So much so that for a good amount of time, i had it unlinked from MFP because I think it gave me far too many "activity" calories.
I've recently re-linked it after updating my profiles to match exactly on both the Fitbit and MFP site. I still think it over-estimates, so I've set a very low target calorie total of 1210 on here. Having that number lower (from what was ~1500) seems to have helped, I've been able to break through the plateau and am feeling like I may be down more in the past week.0 -
I find that mine underestimates my calorie burn. I eat more than Fitbit says I burn, yet lose weight. And I know it does not take into account calories burned through strength training.0

I have a One and use jsut my fitbit calories burned as my exercise calories since they are synced. I always end up with about 300 extra calories to use, than on MFP. That may be because I have MFP set for 1200, even though I eat back exercise calories. I may lower my calories on fitibit, because even though I get 10k a day average, I'm gaining and losing the same 5 - 8 lbs, esp on the weekend. :grumble:
I love the fitbit, though. It's a reality check for sure. And when I run, I can rack up some steps quickly, which encourages me to do it more. I wear it all day every day, even to sleep.0 -
Does it make sense to get a FitBit without owning a smartphone? I've only got a middle-age-cell-phone...0
