Calorie budget help

[Kaydubbb]

Hi guys new to Fitbit and the app and have a question. 

On my dashboard in the app it might say something like "1000 calories in, 1500 left".

And then when I click on the food section and it goes to seperate food page it will say something like "250 calories left in your budget"

I was hoping someone could explain the difference between the "1500 calories left" on the dashboard, and the "250 under budget" in the food section. As I'm why are those numbers so different from eachother. Thanks in advance  I hope I explained that xorrectly.

Welcome to the community, @Kaydubbb! I’d suggest having a look at Fitbit’s Food Plan Demystified. It’s a series of four longish posts that attempt to explain in much details how things work. Hopefully it will address your questions.
