Ok let me see if I can get this out with out being even more confusing. So my bmr is about 1500 calories a day, and I know from past devices I wore that if I have a day off and wasnt feeling well or was kind of LAZY? on my day off it is pretty accurate. But on days that I work I burn between 2400 and 2900 calories a day and even 3300 if I go to the gym AND work (am a food server at a HUGE restaurant) So I selected ACTIVE in my settings which is I guess about right it put me at 2000 a day to maintain. So is it averaging that I only work 5 days a week and lowering my daily calories for my days off? Or should I eat even LESS on my days off? I guess that is my question. I feel like if I eat 1500 calories on my days off and dont go to the gym or anything or do ANYTHING cuz I had a really bad attack of insomnia last night and didnt sleep at all. That I am over eating?
