Hi! I wear a Versa 2. Should I eat any of these workout calories back? I’m 5’5, 222lbs woman. Trying to get my stuff together? I realize the Fitbit totally exaggerates calories burned.

Burning 1k calories is pretty strenuous. What exercises and how long did you do them?

1k calories?? Wtf are you doing in the gym😂😂. and no do not eat those calories back as you said yourself the Fitbit seemed to have exaggerated the amount of calories you burned, so you’re not even sure exactly how much calories you lost in the first place.

Fitbit has crazy calorie estimates. Make sure negative calories are enabled too if you’ve been too sedentary throughout the day. And that there are no duplicate exercise entries. Since you didn’t actually post that.

Absolutely do not add back in exercise calories. Even if you are accurate in how much you burned, your body will slow your metabolism to compensate for the additional calories, eating up up to 50% of the additional calories. So if you burn 500 calories, at the end of the day, You might have only netted an additional 250 calories. Adjust your caloric intake based on your average rate of weight loss, if it’s too fast, adjust down. If it’s too slow, adjust up. Do not add in calories from exercise
