Questions on Fitbit tracker & syncing

Hello! I am a Cronometer newbie, so these questions may seem pretty basic. I've synced my Fitbit to Cronometer, and my weight loss goal is 0.5 lbs per week.

I am finding that nearly everyday the tracker says I still have anywhere between 500-1000 calories left to eat, even if I have eaten plenty during the day. I somehow find this doesn't work for my weight loss goals. Why does this happen, and what can I do about it?

Somehow, eating 2500-3000 calories per day (which is what this would amount to) is not the path to weight loss for me!
