![]() Sorry for this absolute essay, I’d really appreciate it if you reply or point me somewhere that could answer this for me If I assume that nearly every day I’ve been roughly 900kcal under, and my weight and body fat has stayed the same, would that suggest to you that I should eat more to then start losing weight? Going by one of the posts above assuming that’s overestimated and dividing it down, that would put me at around 4500kcal burned, and the calories I’ve consumed today total about 3650kcal. Now coming to the metabolism thing you’ve mentioned, I’m 6’2, around 106kg atm, and for today after a 10 hour shift and an hour of boxing Fitbit is putting me at 5800kcals burned. I’ve been around the same weight and same body fat percentage (about 18% I think) for probably 2 years, and the last few days started to actually log my food and use fitbits weight loss calorie tracker thing. Trying to make a long story short, I’m an active guy, I box three times a week, run twice a week, work an active job on my feet most of the time with a fair amount of heavy lifting. Sorry I know it’s been ages since you made this comment, but I was hoping you could elaborate on this a bit, since I have no idea what to google to look into this. I'm going to reply to myself with a general formula if the margin for error isn't 30% If Fitbit overestimates your calories by 30%, divide the calories by 1.3 But since your real calories burned were 100, it's clear to see which is 30% lower. ![]() Multiplying by 1.3 (which might seem more intuitive) will get you to 91 calories burned. ![]() if you burned 70 cals, multiplying by 1.42 will get you up to 100 cals as the real result. This is because you are starting at 70% of the original, and want to get to 100%. If it's an underestimate by 30%, you simply have to multiply by 1 ÷ 0.7 (approximately 1.42). You can see that the former is correct, because if you add 30% (which was the cited margin for error) to both results, the former will bring you up to 150 calories, and the latter only 136.5). On the other hand, multiplying by 0.7 would give you 105 calories burned. If your calories burned were 150, but the fit bit gave you an additional 30%, then dividing by 1.3 gives you 115 calories actu burned. If it's an overestimate by 30%, then you want to divide by 1.3įor example.
