I have my Macros set and it seems like every other day, they are increased for some reason. I keep having to go back in and reset them. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Are you logging exercise in the app? Doing so will add calories/adjust macros for the 'extra' that you can eat to make up for the exercise.

    Also, changing your calorie goals will reset the macros.

    It is connected with my FitBit - I thought that it would be fresh start everyday and not roll anything over but I'm sure you have solved my issue. Thank you

    I wish there was an option to tell it not to add calories and adjust macros for excercise. I just ignore it now, I know what my calorie and macro goals are.

    When I key in exercise I just set the calories to 1 manually, not sure if that's possible with a fitbit

    Your Fitbit is going to do that. Make sure you have negative adjustments turned on, so that it can adjust down on your more sedentary days.

    From there, just tweak your actual intake through protein and fat, if you're following the "eat back your calories" thing, or just ignore the changes Fitbit makes, unless you spent the day hiking up Mt Everest or something.
