After putting in all my info (height, weight, etc.) it set me a seemingly specific calories burned goal.

 

Is this based on anything scientific?

 

I put that my goal was to lose weight, does this factor into the goal number or is the goal set just somewhat generic/random?

Hey there @brendaanne3, welcome to the Community.

 

For more information about how this option works, I recommend taking a look at the How do I track my food with Fitbit? article.
