After the recent Version 2.48 update (May 1, 2017), the "cals left" on the dashboard don't match the "calories left in your budget" when you take the tile.
This seems like a bug, since I can't imagine why the two wouldn't be in sync.
Has anyone else noticed this?

The numbers are different for a reason. The number on the tiles is the calories left in your budget which includeds a prediction of the calories that will be burned in the rest of your day.
The calories left that you see when you click the tile are the calories left without calorie burn prediction of the rest of your day. At 1159 pm both numbers will match.
The calories left on the tile is the number you should go with , it allows you to plan your food intake because it takes into account the number of calories you burn on average for the whole day.

If you use the numbers on the front tile you will register as over....try it you'll see.. I've never seen the numbers match @ 11:59 and don't quite get the point of that, but will ck it out....still doesn't explain why iphone users numbers are the same and Fitbit customer service stated numerous times it's a known issue still to be addressed.

Here is the website to better explain it. I pasted some of it below. Read it all to better understand
https://blog.fitbit.com/fitbit-calories-in-vs-out/
"This is where people can get confused. Because Fitbit is using information in real time to predict whether you will hit your calorie deficit by midnight, it’s possible to see something like this:
At first glance, these stats seem to be contradicting each other. You’re over your calorie target but still have 406 calories left to eat? But what the meter on the left is telling you is that based on your current activity level and the time of day, you’re not on track to hit your calorie deficit.
Using the example above, if you eat your remaining 406 calories, your daily total would be 2,137 calories. Even if you end up burning 2,500 calories—which is still great since it’s more than you ate—it’s not enough to hit your 500 calorie daily deficit goal.
If you’re not into that system, there’s one change you can make to your settings. Click the food tile on your Fitbit.com dashboard and then “See More.” In the Food Plan section, click the gear icon. This is where you can change your Daily Calorie Estimate setting from “Personalized” to “Sedentary.” The sedentary setting starts you out with a low calorie estimate and lets you “earn” more calories by being active throughout the day."

That’s all well and good, I understand that but my days past don’t match the tiles either
