Today we went for a lovely walk from Dunwich to Southwold along the beach returning through the marshes, with many detours due to damage caused by the recent storms.<\/p>\n
The Etrex GPS measured 15.3miles, my Fitbit says 31,958 steps which it says is 14.66 miles. The Moves app says 31,056 steps or 17.6miles. So all pretty consistent.<\/p>\n
However for calories burnt it’s a different story! Moves says only 1557 calls burnt whereas Fitbit says 3202 cals TWICE THE AMOUNT<\/p>\n
Now I’m about to go for a lovely dinner at The Ship so which do I believe?<\/p>\n

\nProblem solved by this tweet from Moves<\/p>\n
@matchup_io @geoffjones<\/a> @fitbit<\/a> Moves shows active burn calories. Idle burn can be seen in calorie settings. http:\/\/t.co\/NW0emkU0bB<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Moves (@movesapp) December 23, 2013<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So with my idle calories showing as 1,583 on Moves, Active burn cals \u00a0on Moves at 1,557 active. Gives a total \u00a0of \u00a03,100cals which is virtually identical to Fitbit at 3,202cals \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
