Hi everyoneWoman Happy

I've been using fitbit for a couple of years now ( I had the fitbit One, Charge and now I have the surge) and never had this problem. So far today, I've burned 2,269 calories. My fitbit dashboard is telling me, I can eat a total of 1864 calories. I have my weight loss plan set to "harder", with a 1,000 deficit. This is not a 1,000 calorie deficit or am i wrong? Please help! 

 

Thank you

Lonnie

just a guess, but maybe fitbit is estimating you'll burn about 600 more calories today by just being alive?

carl669 is correct - it's taking into account how much more you'll burn today, even if you are fairly idle.

I'm an ecommerce and online business consultant who sits most of the day. Getting off my butt with a Fitbit Flex since 12/2014.
