Fit bitter's
Question new to fit bit and have it linked to MFP. Do you eat extra calories logged to MFP account via fit bit? Do you eat back half? or none? What seems to work best. Daily calories 1390 ate 1510 still says I have 285 left. Just want to make sure I lose and do not stall or gain back. Thanks in advance. :)
