Should I trust my Fitbit over the Apple Health app?

(Before I begin, yes I’m active in ED subreddits. Yes, I have disordered eating. No, I am not trying to further damage my health by making this post. I’ve decided to aim for slow, sustainable weight loss, but I still have disordered thoughts. Please don’t lecture me if you feel the need to. I am already in therapy.)

Hi all, humour me for a second. I’ve gotten very attached to Lifesum to track my intake, and it uses the data from Apple Health to tell me how many calories I’ve burned.

I just got home from a nearly 5km walk, and Lifesum says I’ve burned 511 calories. After subtracting my BMR from the number of calories that I’ve burned according to my Fitbit app, I found out I’ve burned 770 calories instead.

I want to trust the Fitbit, because it’s on me at all times and would be a lot more accurate than my phone. But I’m nervous because I’ve seen a lot of reviews talking about how the Charge 4 isn’t entirely accurate.

Which one should I trust? I just want to know if I can have extra salmon at dinner tonight :(
