Calories Count

cheerinotes

Hi I'm new to this app. Please advise why there isn't a deficit count on my daily calories limit when i logged in my exercise. I've linked my Fitbit to the app and I can see my exercises being logged. Thanks.

If you listed yourself as active but your step count isn't high enough to rate as active level, you might not show a deficit. i.e. if active means you burn 2000 calories a day, but with your exercise you only burned 1800, you wouldn't show a deficit.

Mfp is designed for you to eat back your exercise calories.

It sounds like your Fitbit is syncing, but you aren't burning enough calories to create a difference between what MFP estimated you would burn (given the activity level you provided) and how much you're actually moving. If you tell MFP, for example, that you're lightly active and your activity detected from Fitbit falls into that level, you won't see adjustments (because you got those calories up front in your goal). You will only begin to see adjustments once you move *beyond* what MFP would have estimated for your activity level.
