I love my new fit bit but the calorie counter is wrong . My profile is correct and I know my TDEE manually is 3100. I know this because I have bulked and cut over the last 12 months and I am currently cutting on 2600 Cals a day and losing 1lb a week nice and clean so i am very confident re my calories , I exercise 3 times a week compound lifts for around an hour . Fitbit tells me I burn around 18200 calories a week on average which equals 2600 a week so you can see why I doubt it , if I believed my fit bit then 2600 would be my maintenance . Any idea anybody , many thanks

There's no way to manually configure these settings so you'll have to live with (or ignore) Fitbits use of average data for weight and height in this regard. Whether there's a suggestion on the Feature Request board here that you'd be interesting in voting for as an alternative, I don't know.
