Nutracheck vs Fitbit calories

[stevekind]

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with apparently contradictory information on the fit bit dashboard in the windows app, the  dashboard on the fitbit website, and Nutracheck - which I keep synched with fit bit. For 18th January the app showed me as being OVER on calories, the web page showed me as being UNDER, while I had also stayed well within the calorie limit set by Nutracheck, where I enter all my food details before synching with my Fitbit Charge HR. I record exercise on my Fitbit and that is passed back to Nutracheck on synch (though I have to log manually due to another outstanding problem I am waiting for an answer to)

I am attaching three screen shots I took after midnight on 19th showing what the various pages were telling me about the 18th. Can someone please explain them to me?

This is what the dashboard at the Fitbit web page told me!

But this is what the fitbit windows app told me.

I'm very confused!

Hey @stevekind! I think I might know what's going on here.

It looks like your goals for Nutracheck and Fitbit are not aligned. The current food plan you're on for Fitbit changes your daily calorie goal based on your past activity. So in other words, while your target for Nutracheck for the 18th may have been 1546 calories, your goal for that day for Fitbit's food plan was 1331 calories.

Moving on to the second screenshot you provided, the "under" is referring to the amount of calories you consumed vs the calories you burned for that day (consumed < burned), while the "over" is referring to how many calories you were over for the target calorie goal that Fitbit set for you (consumed more than 1331 calories).

As for the third screenshot, it looks like it's showing the 19th as opposed to the 18th, which is why it started over. I see that it shows Monday as red, but that's consistent with what I explained above.

If you'd like to set your own calorie goal with Fitbit, I'd recommend checking out this thread about MFP and Fibit calorie discrepancy. Within that post, it will show you how to change your calorie target.

Hopefully this helps!
