That’s a great way of looking at it! Estimates can be over or under, you are right! Thank you

Yes I thought so! In the reply above she wrote that your Fitbit calories will drop but I think she meant to say the MyFitnessPal adjustment will drop (or even increase!) not the actual calories burned on my Fitbit! Thanks a lot 😄

That’s so helpful, thank you. I’m already a few days in and can gauge already what it’s likely to be if I do exercise early on, then rest for the remainder of the day! Plus, I’ve always worn my Fitbit, so that gives me pretty accurate ideas of what my typical calorie burn is! Thank you

My Fitbit calories should never drop should they, as my Fitbit is counting how much I am burning constantly minute by minute, even if I’m stationary? I think the best bet is to keep an eye on it! Thanks!!

Yes that makes total sense! At the moment I am most definitely sedentary anyway! Thanks very much

Yes that sounds about right! Even if I do ‘overeat’ I doubt it will be by a huge amount anyway. Thank you for your reply!

Brilliant, thanks so much! I guess it’s just trust and error 😊😊

Thanks so much for this! Very helpful. I’ll keep an eye on it - thank you!

Thanks so much, will just need to get used to it and how it works with me! Thank you!

Thanks so much for that!! I think I will definitely give it longer to test it all out. Like you say, I doubt I will use all the calories anyway but that’s good to know. Thank you for your help!

That’s really interesting - thank you! So what you are basically saying is, even if I did possibly overeat the previous day, there’s a chance I would probably still be in a deficit! Thanks so much, going to read it a few times to sink in, haha.

Yes this is why I’m a bit confused. I don’t want to get to the night when I fancy a snack but realise the next morning it took me OVER my calories. I was just more so wondering how often it updates, ie I’ve done my workout this morning but not really going to be moving much for the rest of the day (lockdown lol) so what…

That’s fab thank you, I just didn’t want to wake up tomorrow and be like -200 calories over eaten! I’ve done a work out today so I’m sure today will give me a better idea. Thank you

Thanks so much for your reply! I’ll definitely keep an eye out to see how it’s faring!

Thanks for that! I still don’t understand the adjustment part of it. I don’t want to get to tomorrow morning and found out I’ve overeaten today! My activity level is set at the lowest as I am currently not moving much due to lockdown! The only exercise I am getting is through purpose one, like today. Thanks!
