To sync or not to sync

I had my fitbit synced (versa) for about a week and it was giving me like 500-1000 additional calories on top of my 1400. I panicked and stopped syncing them because that is A LOT of food to also lose weight. Is this right? I average 11500 steps a day, a high end is about 16000 on days I exercise, if I only work and do nothing else I hit right around 9000 steps. SW: 210 CW: 191 GW:140ish, 27 year old female.

Right now I have it set at the 1400 plus I eat back half of what my versa says my work out burn is. But sometimes I am STARVING and literally laying in bed with my stomach growling. Other days I'm fine. If I eat it, I weigh it and log it.

I think my rate of loss right now is about 2.2lbs a week, but I am a bigger girl so I think that's appropriate for now?
