i haven't changed anything in my dashboard at fitbit at all, but for the last two days it's shown less calories burned per day then it's shown on MUCH less active days - it shows less than 1100 calories used per day, even though i was up and active.

my fitbit, btw, is still logging steps and activity like always.

any suggestions on what i can check?

    Did you log weight loss?

    So to be clear - your Fitbit, as in device, is logging steps and activity?

    But do you mean your account is showing those steps and activity too?

    Looking through the day at time and step counts, see anything glaring missing, like the rest-time calorie burn during a time you know you were up - so malfunctioning device?

    Or looking at normal days with bigger burns - do you see where the activity is that is maybe lacking from those 2 days?

    Did you sleep extra perchance?

    Is the base calorie burn per 5 min the same in prior times and last 2 days? That's the Log page - Activity graph.
