Does a Fitbit or similar tracker make your activity level choice irrelevant?
Does having a fitness tracker linked to your MyFitnessPal account make the activity level choice irrelevant? For example say you set it to the top activity level and it gives you a target of 9000kj and setting it to sedentary gives you a target of 7000kj would a fitness tracker adjust 9000 down to 7700 if set to highly…

I lowered my BP and lost some weight
Alright, so doctor said I should attempt to lower my blood pressure without being on medication and to come back in a few months to do a follow up.
