Greetings everyone,

First of all pardon my poor English.

So i got fitbit Flex and start getting serious about what i eat and working out especially that I'm done with my Grad School "yay for me!". I go to GYM like six times a week and workout really hard for one hour or so. in addition, I walk at least 6km everyday.

Today my fitbit reads are 20147 steps and 14.4km. my weight is 224lb i'm trying really hard to lose two pounds every week at least , and this is the goal i set in MFPL. MFPL suggest me to eat 1440 calories everyday.

I know that this question had been asked over and over "Should i eat the calories i burned? and the answer is yes" but I'm questioning this statement. How much should i eat? since the past 10 days i didn't lose any weight not even half pound!

this is MFPL reads for today

so what am I doing wrong? I eat back what i burned as much as I can I workout and yet I'm not losing weight?

any suggestion or tip will be appreciated =)

Thank You everyone.

    I don't eat my calories burned. My wellness coordinator at work told me to lose some weight with diet and some with exercise. She advised that as I increase my exercise my body will get used to those calories and want them even on the days I don't exercise. I do make sure I meet my nutritional requirements and eat the goal calories.

    You should be eating back your exercise calories from your fitbit, the adjustment is the point of merging it with MFP. HOWEVER, your fitbit display shows a lot of green steps, which mean it thinks you're running/walking very briskly. To me, I'd look at adjusting your stride in the fitbit website, otherwise it'll overestimate your calorie burn and potentially slow/stall your weight loss.
