Hi, Im trying to figure out what calories undee weeekly goal means, is that the amount of calories under my total caloroe goal foe the week? And how do they determine it. Is it determined through exercise caloroea impoeted from my fitbit or is it deteemined by net calories? Any info would be helpful

    Your weekly goal is your calorie goal including any calorie adjustments from exercise/a synced activity tracker.
    So if you are under your weekly calorie goal, it means your calorie deficit was greater than intended when you chose your weight loss rate (theoretically at least).

    What lietchi said. I'd add that on the phone/tablet app, you can switch between a total calories view and a net calories view, so you can look at Calories Under Weekly Goal in either of those ways.
