Kcal Display on Diary Page

clifflovette

My Kcal displays as Consumed 20 Kcals, Burned 3000 Kcals, and Remaining 1982 Kcals. I don't understand where this information is coming from. My 20 Kcals come from supplements I have taken this morning, but I don't know why the Burned displays 3000 and the remaining displays 1982.

This number will automatically populate in order for you to plan your food diary. The Calories you are seeing are as a result of your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and activity level settings. While these Calories are a total of those burned throughout the day, we add them as a lump sum at the beginning of the day so it is easier to plan your meals and activity in relation to your general calories burned!
Your BMR is the rate of energy expenditure of your body at rest and the number of Calories burned is the result of a calculation from the BMR. Check out this section of our user manual to learn more about basal metabolic rate and your activity settings on the mobile app: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019870632

Hello @clifflovette ,

It sounds like you have a weight loss goal of -2.0 lbs/week set. This requires a 998 kcal deficit everyday to reach your weight loss goal! (3000-20-998 = 1982kcal)

You can change your weight loss goal in the Settings tab > Target Section > Weight Goal > Goal timeline

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers,
Marie-Eve
