Yeah i would watch my fitbit while i work, and make sure it wasnt counting while i was working on cars or would count my steps and i noticed it was pretty accurate, not using it to rely on but deff a tool
-
Update; bought a fitbit and it says on my work days i born 4200 cals; rest days 2700 3k steps on those days, but i rarely am resting on rest days, usually involve hiking or just out

And i appreciate both responds to this group!! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me

So it says 2400 is a pound off a week? Plus eat if i burn 500 calories at the gym eat half that more

Also thank you for the response and i cant find a solid calorie intake that clear to go off of, like if its accurate for my metabolism rate, and how active i am, also i do not have a gal bladder if that makes a difference (keeps me away from bad food) i havent had a cheat day
-
Yeah i can feel it taking a toll, i feel like i will pass out just walking day to day, but yes i would agree im just scared to commit to more calories when i came so far lol.
