  • I say figure out what works for you. Personally I've done this enough to know about how many calories per day I need, and I check my Fitbit here & there for calories burned to make sure my food plan for the day is appropriate. (Pre-logging food can help with that also. So you have an idea of what calories you're having…

  • Since you have the food scale, just enter by weight. Find an entry that has the calories listed based on grams. Change to the amount you eat.

  • I'm back again. I lost ~50 and reached 'maintenance' in 2014. Stayed in maintenance for a while but then strayed. Stopped tracking. Stopped being particularly active. Got back over 150 recently (some of it food mass and water weight, but an eye opener anyhow) and I've been back at it for 8 days now. Logging here since…
    in Starting again, looking for people to add. Comment by StaciMarie2020 September 2019
  • It is worth noting that unless you sync at 11:59 pm - the last adjustment you see 'today' will decrease slightly when you log in 'tomorrow' and check the prior day's history unless you are particularly active at night. It will be more if your last login 'today' is early (say 5pm) vs late (say 10pm). Just be in the habit of…
    in Fitbit adds calories, then takes them away! Comment by StaciMarie2020 September 2019
  • Fitbit tracks actual burn while mfp assumes your burn based on activity level. Mfp cannot factor that you burn more some hours than others. If it expects you to burn 1800 per day then it figures 75 per hour. But that includes basic daily movements and your burn rate goes down when you are done for the day. If your BMI is…

  • I've had many people, when I mention my calorie counting ways, say 'calorie counting does not work' for them. I let it go, because telling them they must be doing it wrong is not going to help lol.

  • Today is day 1 of logging, but day 4 of being 'back on track' for me. I'm not terribly active, and my BMR is about 1400. I aim to eat between about 1300-1400. Yet I'll allow myself more on days I exercise. This will have me losing about .5-.75 pounds per week. 5'5", 44 years old, 147.9 pounds & female. Down from 152.6 on…
    in How many calories does everyone eat? Comment by StaciMarie2020 September 2019
  • What are your stats? An adjustment of 1458 from Fitbit means you burned that many more calories in your day (according to Fitbit) than MFP expected. If you regularly see big adjustments like that, then you most likely have the WRONG activity level setting. Its fine to assume some error - but that is a lot. I will make up…
