calories being duplicated?

Former Member over 10 years ago

I manually added my 50 minutes on an elliptical machine this morning and I logged 475 calories which was shown on the elliptical.
When I did a sync my activity shows 'untitled' with a distance of 2 miles and 412 calories counting the steps since I got up. Should I delete one of those items as I feel it's a duplicate of calories burned? I use a heart rate monitor and wonder if the vivofit takes that into account along with steps to determine calories burned.

Yes you need to delete one. I didnt like that with my vivofit also. It duplicates activity even when the activity is recorded with another garmin device. You would think they would figure that out. Fitbit is good about not duplicating, but their devices have lacked quality when moving beyond step counting.
