Calories Left not matching in food tracker

[thelastcatbende]

What displays on my dashboard and what displays after I click through to the food tracker doesn't match up. Why is there a discrepancy?

Hi Ricardo! Thanks for your help. I think this might have fixed it. This is what displays now... is this correct?

Older post, but I run into this and don't think it's an app error, but two different calculations that actually work together to give an accurate picture of NOW and WHOLE DAY.

-Dashboard appears to be how Fitbit calculates the estimate for the day, which gives you a better idea where you will be by end of day keeping your calorie deficit in place.

-Tracker is the immediate "what it looks like RIGHT NOW" if you were to stop eating and get sedentary for the rest of the day at that moment. That's why it adds the Over\Under so you know to either move more or OK to eat more.

Hope this helps.

I wish there was an option to choose how you'd like it displayed on the dashboard 😕
