Calorie counters are crap

[ChristySmiles]

Just wanted to give a heads up that whether you're looking at your calorie counter on your fitbit or your treadmill or an app or wherever, don't trust it. The odds are that it's over-guessing how many you're burning and that's going to make you make bad eating decisions. You'll just overeat and hold yourself back. All of them are like that. Don't trust them at all.

They really are! I shut that option off the app part of my fitbit. So frustrating that it would misguide like that!

The automatic ones aren't any good. The ones for nutrition are good if you enter your foods manually. But the ones on exercise equipment and fitness trackers shouldn't be trusted. I don't even know why those features are on there.
