I just got a fitbit and it says that i burn 3480 calories a day.
I'm a 5'6" male
Wgt. 230
38 yrs old.
I have a desk job but would consider myself moderately active. I excercise at least 1/2 hour a day.
How many calories should I be eating.

OK so I ran the numbers on the Scooby site:
http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/
Says:
BMR: 2080
TDEE: 3219
TDEE-15%:2740
Your Fitbit would be more accurate (all the sites that have these calculations are approximate).0 -
Thank you for your response. TDEE-15% is what I should be eating including excercise?0

Just eat TDEE - 15% or 15% less than what your fitbit says you are burning, whichever one seems more attainable for you. Don't eat exercise calories back.0

Thank you0
