It doesn't work for me to use fitbit's calorie estimater for the day.  I thinks somehow it over estimates what I've earned/what my body uses.  I picked 1600 calories as my goal for the day and I walk/run 14,000 a day.  I have had a pretty steady loss for the past 6 months.  Some weeks it is more than others.  I can't imagine losing with their formula.

 

I just think it thinks my body is burning more than it burns. A hershey bar has 200+ calories.  If I go over, I I would have to run for about 20 minutes to make that up.
