[QUOTE="Dave with T2, post: 2536403, member: 558661"] Thank you for all your replies. Several of you mentioned a lack of trust in Fitbit. I have no great faith in its accuracy either. However, if I conclude it is exaggerating my burning of calories by several hundred a day then I can work on that. At the moment I have no great concerns about more sinister health issues and am just looking to up my calorie intake without upping my blood sugar. I was interested to know how people split their calories between meals. I have been having a 600 cal breakfast (nuts and porridge) and various 600-800 calorie lunches. This has left me looking for too many calories for my evening meal. I found the link on the main page helpful thank you. It recommended about 2860 calories per day for me. So my 3000 was not that far out. I am aware of how many calories are in a gram of carb, protein and fat. My point was having only 135 g of carb leaves you needing a helot of fat and protein to make up the rest of the calories. I think I am going to have to eat bigger, more calorific breakfasts and lunches to avoid blood sugar raising large evening meals. Anyway, thanks again for all the replies. Dave [/QUOTE]
