Surge food

When I check my dashboard it says I'm under budget on my calories but the bit where it says how many calories left says I'm well over! It's not adding up! Any ideas?

I think this may be because fitbit is working out whether you are under or over budget by estimating where you will be at the end of the day rather than just looking at the numbers as they are now.

It does it on the previous days dashboard. Not just current days it should
be worked out properly for the previous day.

That's very true. Well, that blows my theory.

Thanks for the guess tho.

One graph shows "consumed versus burned." This is the one that shows a knife/fork and a flame.

If you ate and logged a 400 calorie breakfast, but you've burned (by the Fitbit estimate at the time you sync the Surge) 700 calories, then you're under your "current" budget.

However, if you've had a huge breakfast of, say 900 calories, but only burned 700, well, then you're over your "current" budget.

If later you eat a 300 calorie lunch, yet burn an additional 500 calores, then your right in line... 1200 eaten, 1200 burned.

So, you may still be under your total daily budget of alloted calories (let's say 2000 calories), but over budget based on what your body has burned at the time you last synced.

Either that, or I'm not sure which graph you're referring to.
