Hiya

I need some advice!

My MFP is set to 1200 calories a day - want to lose 2lb a week

I have recently bought a fitbit and I have found when I sync it on an evening I am gaining on average an extra 400 calories a day due to the amount of steps I take - I have a little boy and dont sit down and stop until around 8.30pm!

I am worried that my BMR on here is too low and I am not eating enough as my weight loss is slowing!

I try to eat when I come back from swimming but not sure what I can snack on thats low fat

Please help!!

    1200 is the lowest MFP will let you go...maybe you should try changing it to a lb a week and see what it gives you

    I think you should be eating whatever your fitbit says as it knows what your activity level is quite accurately. You must have selected sedentary in MFP to get 1200 cals, but your fitbit is telling you, you are actually a little more active than that and need to eat more on the days you are more active. Isn't that the point of the fitbit? that it personalises the calorie goals based on your activity daily which is far better than just following the generalised level set my MFP.

    I can't wait till i get my fitbit. It's in the post :)
