Oh, good! So basically IMHO there are two takeaways from all the responses you've gotten.- Weight loss isn't linear, you have to account for water weight fluctuations, digestion speed, and other random things that affect scale weight so one week's results really don't mean a thing.
- There is no way to know exactly how many calories you need to eat right off the top. Set yourself to lose 1 lb per week, eat some of your exercise calories, log accurately and consistently. Then after a few weeks, if you haven't been averaging a 1 lb weight loss, tweak your calories up or down. Heybales knows what he's talking about when it comes to the Fitbit, so listen to him about that technical stuff!
