Hi All. I'm quite new to FS and trying to understand the calorie calculation used? If I for example compare the Kj information for a product vs FS, it shows on FS I am actually taking in way less kjs than what the suggestion portion is of the product. And this is not using the pro-rata scale when eating a smaller portion. I'm just concerned I might be taking in more macros than what is suggested by FS. I previously used Fitbit, and just for breakfast I would've been close to 900kj. Eating the same bfast, FS states I'm eating about 300kjs.  

Hi! are you not maybe on calories on FS? Calories are 4x less than kilojoules eg I have 1400 cals a day on here which is about 5800kjs :) 

Hi Jespe...I see yes. You are quite right. The FS data base is pulling through to by Samsung Health and I see now it measures in Calories. It recommends me eating 1700cals per day for my size. I guess that is a safe intake? 

Yes that sounds great for your weight! Always better to start higher and decrease if you need too as well rather than go too low and damage your muscle mass 😄 all the best!
