Calorie count showing two different numbers.

[IloveBTS]

I was wondering, in the fitbit app when I go to click on the calorie counting area it might say i have 1035 calories left? but when I go in, it will say something like 987 left. Which one is it?

Hello @IloveBTSm

I would say it's the lowest reading as you are continually burning calories throughout the day.

Hello @IloveBTS, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. It's nice to see you too @ACG, thanks for all your help. 

@IloveBTS thanks for bringing this to my attention. Please note that the Food tile will show you a daily calorie estimate, this is an estimate of the total calories you can eat for the whole day, the number varies because because of your BMR you're constantly burning calories. This tile is also affected if you have a Food Plan or whether you're on a Personalized or Sedentary plan in your account. 

Once you tap on it, you will be able to see the same amount of calories left for the day and the amount of calories you have burned so far. Please note that it might take some time for the calories "left for the day" inside the app to update accordingly. 

 I hope this resolves your inquiry, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

I’ve been seeing the same issue ever since the latest update. Not only that, I did two workouts yesterday am - one logged during activity and the other I logged manually after the fact (because I forgot my Fitbit) after I added my second workout manually it significantly reduced the calories burned from the first exercise and reduced my step count in half!! I deleted the manual workout and everything went back to normal. New update appears to be very buggy.

Hey,

I'm still a bit confused as to which I should go off. 

The food 'tile' on home screen states 1669 in / 423 left

The 'budget' food section states 1669 in / 144 left

Is it because the 'budget' section accounts for any calory deficit I've made a target and the home screen is just the standard for men my age? But even then, my deficit should be -1000 at the mo 🤔

I’d like to know about this too.
