                                Fitness trackers often overestimate calorie burn by a significant margin, sometimes by as much as 93%. This inaccuracy is a key reason why the question, 'Can I eat more than my calorie deficit if I work out?', is so misunderstood, and why relying solely on device readings can undermine your weight loss progress.
