My phone battery data wrecked my whole Saturday plan

Last week I checked my fitness app and it said I burned 1,200 calories by 2pm, so I treated myself to a huge burrito. Turns out the step counter was off by double because I left it in my pocket during a long car ride. I gained 2 pounds in one day and felt awful, and now I question every number that tracker gives me. Has anyone else caught their health stats being way wrong and changed how they trust them?

Trust the tools but verify the wild numbers. Calories from trackers are rough guesses, not facts. Just use it as a baseline, not a truth.
