Hi! I was wondering where Fitbit gets the energy burned number in activity goals from. Mine says 2397 but I never set this number. Is this just taken from my data over time? I can see there is a way to edit it. Would it be beneficial for me to edit this higher or lower?

Good question.  When I first started with Fitbit several years ago, it seemed mine was set such that I would generally reach it on days when I got 10 thousand steps, but some other people say they saw no such relationship.  I don't think anyone has any idea where the default comes from.  I'd suggest just set something that gives you some motivation, or else just ignore it.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
