                                According to a meta-analysis of fitness trackers, Fitbits have been found to overestimate calories burned during certain activities like walking. This can lead many users to wonder, "why is my Fitbit calorie adjustment so high?" The discrepancy is often caused by miscalculations related to your basal metabolic rate, incorrect personal data, or integration issues with other apps.
