Help - calories/TDEE/fitbit

mara232

Hi everyone,

I went to Scooby's site and calculated my TDEE - 2199. It says to eat 1759 calories a day. I have a fitbit I am using - how do I figure that in here on MFP? Do I just eat back half the calories. I was eating back my fitbit calories but that was having me maintain. Before fitbit I lost weight by just calculating excercise. Any ideas? THX.

You need to sync mfp and fitbit by going to the app link at the top of mfp. If your TDEE is 2199 and you want to lose 2 lab per week you need to cut a total of 7000 calories a week. 2199 - 1000= 1199 but mfp doesn't go lower than 1200 (it's only one calorie lol) so, you need to eat 1200 cals daily to hVe 2 lb weight loss per week.

Ok - thx for your help. So I can eat up to what calories say after fitbit is connected?

Yes eat what MFP sets you at. MFP will take your fitbit calorie burn, take off your deficit needed to lose weight and leave you with your daily calories.
