Hi,
I'm new to fitbit (just got my charge hr) and MFP, I've been logging my food for about two weeks now, and I've lost about 1kg with a goal of losing 9kg (deficit 750 cal).
So my question is, how much do you use the fitbit gauge? Since I started, mine was always under the green. Should I finish my days always on green? Also, do you scale your food when entering on MFP? I usually enter approximate values like cups/half cups, and so on....
Thanks

Hi, @SunsetRunner, wecome to the forums!
My personal experience with the combination of MFP and Fitbit is that MFP tends to overestimate your calorie burn for the day, so I usually stick with the Fitbit estimation.
You've got a pretty agressive defecit, so I would suggest you aim for the green band if you can.
Finally, I don't weigh my food, for me it's more of a general measure. I know that what I eat is healthy and I generally have good habits, but it keeps me honest.
Good luck with hitting your goals!
