Fitbit being too generous?

My fitbit is synched with this site and I seem to be gaining since following the extra calories it gives me (not the exercise ones...just the general day to day steps)

anyone else have this issue? I'm thinking of not synching it and only logging what I get for calorie burn during exercise to see if it makes a difference.

    If you are gaining, you know you are eating too much. While investigating the issue, lower your calories.

    I have the charge 2, (had the charge before), and the estimates have worked for me. I've stayed within the same weight range for some time now.

    Fitbit may be over estimating, or you may be underestimating your consumption. Only way to tell is to test it.
    - Weigh/measure foods etc. to be sure your intake is accurate, cut your expenditure given by Fitbit down to see if that helps.
