Guys, how accurate is the Fitbit in terms of calories burned? Do you rely on it to see how much calories you should eat?

    People say it isn't but it was spot on for me. I reviewed 100 days of data and the expected weight loss matched the actual weight loss

    Depends what you're using it to measure, and how well set up it is.

    The best indicator is trend data, so follow it and if you lose faster or slower than expected adjust your intake accordingly.
