By stats you mean height, weight, age, etc? Male, 5'8", 140, 59. It was originally I think 100 but I got it on sale.

Thanks for the info. It's actual an Armour39 HRM (an Under Armour product), that I always figured had an accurate algorithm - I usually get about 350-400 cal on a 3 mile run, which I've always assumed to be correct based on various calculators and on MapMyFitness and MFP estimates without the monitor. But, my assumptions…

Good points and good advice - thanks. On the BMR, plugging my stats (59, 5'8, 140) into a bunch of online calculators, I get about 1400 cal/day, which is 1 cal/min, which seems consistent with my sleeping calorie burn that the Fitbit logs. I'll check the stride length and see what happens.

In that case, I'm wondering what causes the calorie burn discrepancy when I've used both a chest strap monitor and the Fitbit to track my run. Right after I got the Fitbit, I ran 28 minutes. The chest strap showed 152 average BPM and 388 calories (recorded on MapMyFitness). The Fitbit showed 153 average BPM and 288…

One last question - for the non-step based workouts I do, I have a pretty good sense of the calorie burn based from the chest strap HRM I've been using. But, my understanding is that, for lack of a better term, this number "includes" what my BMR would be. So, if my BMR is about 1 cal/minute (which is consistent on my…

Thanks! I did all of those things - I guess my question is, for the step-based activity that Fitbit is tracking (without me manually logging it in), does it appear in MFP other than in the fitbit calorie adjustment line that lists total steps; i.e., does it appear as a line describing the activity (running, for example)…
