Great summary of your findings.<p>I&#x27;ve been wearing a Fitbit Charge HR since last June, and I definitely do not reach 10k steps daily. However, I&#x27;ve noticed that on days I hit the gym and do weight lifting, my caloric burn easily tops 3300, while on days where I&#x27;m lazy and just working on my laptop, I barely break 2100.<p>As a rule, I typically do not do any cardiovascular exercise. I think, I do not know for sure, the Fitbit is better suited for measuring cardiovascular activities, so I&#x27;m not sure how or why it&#x27;s adjusting my caloric burn on my gym days. Maybe it&#x27;s looking at my heart rate and extrapolating?<p>Anyway, I&#x27;d be very much interested in some kind of fitness tracker that can provide better estimates on caloric burn. That coupled with calorie counting&#x2F;recording of meals is what will really help me shed this weight.
