Is there a way to see my projected calories burned for the day?

[DuuudeMaaan]

I'm new to fitbit. I think it would be helpful if there was a feature that would show me how many calories I'm projected to burn until midnight. It would allow me to adjust my diet accordingly throughout the day.

Before buying the fitbit, I had projected that I would normally burn 2,200 calories a day, given my slightly below moderate exercise and my height weight etc. (M, 19, 5'9",142lbs). I did this using BMR and caloric output calculators.  I therefore aimed to eat 2,400 calories a day, using MyFitnessPal, as I want to build lean muscle at a slow but steady pace. I had all my macros adjusted accordingly and I was achieving my goal. 

After buying the Fitbit, I realised I have been burning more calories than that. Over the past few days, I'm averaging out a 2,500 calorie burn per day, and I can't keep up with the eating yet. I find myself stuffing in food at supper and after supper to hit my caloric intake goal. This is largely due to not knowing my caloric intake pace, and also due to my stomach not being big enough to eat so much.

This is why I'm asking if this feature exists, as I can't seem to find it.

If you were to set up a food plan in fitbit it will tell you how many more calories you can eat to meet your target using its own projection of the calories eaten and burned by midnight. There is more information on setting up a food plan in this help file:

I don't think you can get the projected end-of-day figures without using a food plan.

I agree that this would be a very useful feature. Google Fit has it - when you set a daily calorie burn goal, the weekly bar chart actuly uses the projected value for the current day (which isn't over yet), taking into account the activity so far and the remaining calories to be burned at rest for the time left in the day. They even used to have a calorie goal widget which used that projected value as the current progress towards the daily goal. Fitbit, please implement this! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
