I have a big question. I work at a movie theater with that I walk around, stand, clean theaters for almost 5 to 6 hour for 3 to 4 times a week. On days I clean theaters I can burn 800 calories before my 30 minute break and over 1000 after 4 more hours of work. I use my fitbit and I become very happy when I see that many calories burned. My question is do I log all the calories I burned, some of them, or nothing

    That would depend on what you have your activity level set to.

    i agree..it all depends on your activity level. I have a fitbit aswell..and I have a sedentary job..so anything is more than usual for me..

    I don't understand. I thought the entire purpose of a fitbit was to eliminate confusion about what you burned and how much to eat, no? Why would you need to log (and subsequently eat back) additional calories?
