Has anyone lost weight following fitbit's recommended calorie intake?

    I have, but I've been at this long enough to know what my maintenance calorie level is, so when I got my fitbit I was able to see how "correct" it's numbers were. For me, it was pretty close, so it worked as well as anything else has.

    For someone who doesn't know their maintenance/TDEE, then it might be a crap shoot.

    I'm in maintenance but I find the Fitbit to be pretty accurate with calorie burn based on what I already know about how much I can eat and how much I generally do during a day. I use it more as a motivational toy to get me to add more steps to a day than as a guide to weight loss.
