Unused calories in budget seemed to carry over

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Yesterday I did a log walk, over 20 miles. When i got home I had a budget of 2500 cals left to eat. I wasn't feeling too well (not from the walk) and decided to call it for a day and went to bed. I woke up this afternoon (slept 16hours, must have been sick) and started to log in my breakfast. It says I have 3500 calories to eat for the day. My days usually stat at 700 or 900. I logged in the food knowing that sometimes resets the calories budget on the app but it didn't change. Just trying to figure out if this is a bug or if the app carried it over since I didnt eat the 2500 cal + the 1000 cal for the meal plan i have chosen.

Hi there @Ninja_Lou, good to see you here in the Fitbit Community. Strange behaviors indeed with your calories budget. Note that all your unused calories from your food plan wont be transferred to the next day. These calories will remain as an additional deficit of what your plan already includes.

 

I wonder if this issue persists on a daily basis or was one time only? If the issue persists, I would like to ask you, if is possible to share screenshots of your calories to have a closer look and investigate if this is a glitch.

 

Usually your calories goes along with your activity and your BMR as you know. So you will have some calories due to maintaining vital body functions and during the day it will increase based on your exercise too.

 

Did you reviewed the day you had a high number of calorie allowance if your steps where high too or if there was any activity logged on your Dashboard?

 

Keep me posted, I'm sure we can find a solution if the problem persists.
