    When you use an activity tracker, you should have yourself set on sedentary and enable negative adjustments.

    can someone explain this please? I understand how, just don't understand why?

    Because this way you're getting your true TDEE.

    ah I see, as opposed to the estimated TDEE? is this the same if I am using a customized nutritional goal?

    I was using a customized one before I got my jawbone. Now I see the actually calories I'm burning. Let me tell you, on days where I laze (no gym, day off work), I don't burn nearly as when I'm moving.
    Actually, if you have questions :

    So should I be using the guided goals now that I have a fibit charge HR?
