Thank you SummerSkier for your advice! Indeed the work has started! I will be keeping an eye for sure and make adjustments accordingly.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! At several points in my fatloss journey I adhered to the advice similar to yours (Michael Pollan has a similar one I believe) and it always backfired in the end. Now, I eat what I like and what makes me feel good and that includes whole foods as well as refined ones.

Thank you for your input apullum! I am honored to get insight from veteran MFPs!

This is a new concept to me. I will play around with it and see how it goes! Thank you!

Ann, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! I am fairly new to maintenance and monitoring my CICO with Fitbit. I also want to test how accurate this device is in my case. So, I guess I do want a little more precision... at least for a couple of months. Do you recommend against carrying over the calories…

Thank you so much for your responses!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is helpful to hear thoughts of those who've been there and share what has worked and what hasn't.

Do the ones with HR estimate your calorie burn better when you walk briskly as oppose to more leasurely or does the tracker figures it out by the miles walked and takes that pace into account?

If that's you in the picture why would you want to lose anything?! You look great!

Thank you so much for your input! I've read many of your posts and they have been very helpful to me.

Thank you cmriverside! 👍

I am sorry, I didn't mean to take over the thread. I promise this is my last post in it. So I checked the adjustments from yesterday. The difference between the two apps was only 13 calories. Close enough! I'll stick with MFP adjustments and reassess in couple of months.

Here is a screenshot from that day. It says that full day projection is 2,138 which is very close to MFP's end of the day adjustment except the morning after Fitbit app always shows lower calorie burn than MFP. Yesterday MFP total calorie goal with adjustment was 2322, Fitbit gave me 2269.

I did try unsynching and resynching. Using Fitbit for maintenance is a new frontier for me. I am thankful to you for your willingness to help me to figure this out.

I use both of the apps. Here is an example from Thursday. The difference is minor, although somedays the difference is bigger, but in the long run it adds up to a few hundred calories per week.

A question for you. In many of your posts you mention that Fitbit helped you in your weight loss journey as well as in maintenance. I am transitioning to maintainance. I synched my Charge 3 with MFP(enabling negative calorie adjustments) and have noticed a difference between MFP and Fitbit in my daily burn. I set my…
