I also know that I need to eat around 1200 (1300 at most) calories to exactly maintain my weight (sedentary lifestyle).  FitBit is telling me a need to eat quite a bit more than that.  Is there a way to adjust this?  Because I am eating less that the setting, the proper adjustment for all the walking I am doing is not showing up in myfitness pal.

@pkp492. It's great to have you here! When you're burning more calories than usual, Fitbit will give you the chance to eat more because you're burning more (always based in the Food Plan that you chose). You may want to check this post to know how Fitbit will give you the calories that you're allow to eat.
