Hey guys I'm confused. So I am trying to lose weight and for nutrition I have selected the 'Harder' plan intensity. With this plan there is a -1000 calorie deficit, but it says that I will lose 2kgs per week. I don't understand how I can lose 2kgs per week if weekly I have a 7000 calorie deficit, and since a kg is made up of 7700 calories I will lose less than a kg a week let alone 2 kgs which is 15,400 calories. So why does it say I will lose 2kgs per week??

A daily deficit of 1000 calories should result in a weight loss of 2 pounds, not kilograms. Here is what you get if you select Food Plan Intensity in the Fitbit mobile app with kilograms as the unit for weight:
As you can see, the harder plan (-1000 calories) translates into 0,9 kg per week (1 kg = 2.2 lb, so 0.9 kg would be the rough equivalent of 2 pounds).

The reason why it says "kg" is it’s what you selected in your personal settings as the unit for weight. You can change this to pounds in your settings:
It’s surprising you ended up with a metric unit for weight, because Fitbit offers imperial units by default (because the majority of its user base is still likely in the US).
