Calories in are how many calories you take in - how many you eat.

Calories out are how many you burn off - exercise.

 

If you want to lose weight, generally speaking, you need more calories out than you take in. 

 

Fitbit allows you to setup a food plan so that, for example, you are -500 calories.... meaning you burn off (out) 500 more calories than you eat (in).

 

Hope this helps!

It's nice to see you aboard @Vtovar Smiley Very Happy! My friend @Collin1000 is right about his point. For more details about how your calories work, I'd recommend taking a look at this post that was shared by @SebringDon Smiley Very Happy, it helped to me at the beginning of my journey!
