new to the fitbit...put in my weight and whatnot. it wants to eat 1425 calories a day. which i think is high considering i used to eat 1200 with my fitness pal. does the fitbit get regulated with me to get this calorie amount to go down??

    MFP was suggesting 1200 on days with no exercise when you matched the activity level you selected.
    If you selected Sedentary, but you really aren't - then MFP is now correcting itself based on what Fitbit is actually seeing you do.

    If you trusted MFP before without understanding how the math worked or why the number ended up the way it did - why wouldn't you trust MFP now with it correcting itself based on Fitbit stats?

    How do you know it's high, BTW - how much exercise do you have with diets beyond ones you've seen starting at 1200?
    Any experience with how much you may burn daily?
