I do HIIT 5 days a week and according to my Apple Watch I burn 2100 to 2500 calories a day. I rarely eat 1500 calories. I thought it was calories in calories out. What’s my problem?

Are you saying you don't lose weight? Because you don't actually say what your problem is...4

Your watch over estimates burned calories and you underestimate calories eaten. You aren't the only person on the planet who gets to defy thermodynamics.
Without stats we couldnt say 1500 is to much but I doubt it5 -

True HIIT 5 days a week? More like interval training, but as far as your 'problem as in weight loss, need to elaborate more.0

Taking a wild guess at what you are asking.
MFP has you at 1500 cals to lose a certain amount of weight.
Eat all those calories- what you like, when you like and work towards meeting your nutrition goals.
To make sure you are accurate use a food scale for all foods, yes even single serving packages.
Make sure you are using accurate entries. The entry on the package of food should match the MFP entry.
For single foods, grains, meat, fish, veg, use food with the info from the USDA.
Use grams for all solids, not cups and spoons- they are for liquids, which you should also measure.
I don't use a Fitbit, but they can over or under estimate.
If, once you have your food logging in order, you are still not losing at the expected rate, drop your Fitbit added calories by 25% for a month and see how that works.

oh, you mean weight loss woes....
you're not measuring accurately probably and so eating more than you think and burning less than you think.
and/or you're being impatient.2 -
Inaccuracy: food, exercise, typing.9

I think one problem is you need to strengthen your communication skills. It's not really a "wow" though.
That calorie burn sounds suspiciously high btw.

Sorry I asked! I guess I’ll just figure it out on my own. I was on this blog one other time and now I know why I haven’t been back.1
