fitbit says i burn 2100 a day, eating 1750. HELP

weight lifting calories burned
Okay so I have recently understood that using my HRM for strength training to measure calories burned isnt accurate at all. This isnt a huge deal because I dont typically eat back my exercise calories. For example, on leg day, my HRM would say about 400 calories. I typically would only eat maybe 100 or 200 more than usual.…
