Fitbit steps and extra calories!
Hi. I use MFP to maintain my weight. I recently got a fitbit charge and have synced it with MFP. I am confused though. It is adding over 1000 calories a day in exercise from the steps recorded, which range from 10,000 to 16,000 a day. This is giving me around 3,500 calories to eat. Of this right?
Help too many calories added on MFP
I am trying to maintain my weight. I use a fitbit and MFP. I average between 10,000-16000 steps a day. I am confused as I end up with over 1,000 calories a day extra for exercise based on these steps. I have my activity level as sedentary on MFP. I am 5ft6 and a 37 year old female. What is going on?
