update t my fitbit issue (added calories)

magsmichelle

I got a fitbit flex for Christmas and only recently started using it, I have it synced up to here. As a nurse I work 3 days a week 12-14 hour shifts. On those days my fitbit was adding back 1000-1100 calories to my day because I was getting over 25000 steps in a day.
Today was my day off, no exercise and I still somehow pulled out 18,000 steps and had 863 calories added back. ( i wear it on my non-dominant hand, and have tested the sensitivity) I can only imagine tomorrow being an exercise day, I'll pull over 20,000 steps.
So I am now thinking I need to update my activity level on mfp because I am more active than I think I am and do need to be eating more.
thanks to all those who helped. Fitbit has opened my eyes for sure as to how active I really am.
