Not understanding how the calorie adjustment works!

Really struggling with how the adjustment works, for example today I've only done 3k steps and it's giving me 600 extra calories?

Hello @Megan.b, it's nice to have new faces around the Fitbit Community. I'm wondering where are you seeing the calorie adjustment? 

If you are seeing this on your Fitbit account and you have a food plan, your calories will continually update (assuming your tracker syncs regularly) depending on the food logged and your activity level. Your activity level is determined by the steps you take, any exercises recorded by your tracker, and any activities you log manually. As you walk and exercise through the day, your caloric allowance will adjust to let you know how much more you can eat while staying within your goal zone.

If this is happening with a third party app, please let me know so I can provide you more details.

See you around and I'll be looking forward to your response.
