I have my Fitbit app set to sync with MyFitnessPal. It's slow to sync every now and again, but last night the Fitbit app started adding 200+ calories every time I opened it up. I went from 900 calories to 1600 in about 10 minutes! Today, I have no food entered into MyFitnessPal yet Fitbit is saying I've already consumed 280 calories. 
I've tried deleting all my intake from MyFitnessPal and doing it over, I've tried restarting my phone, and I've tried deleting and reinstalling the Fitbit app. It's still showing more intake than true.
Is anyone else having this issue?

I figured it out! It's not the Fitbit app, but the MyFitnessPal app. After logging in online and discovered that when I deleted a food, it would be deleted on the app but not online. It was holding onto everything I entered in the background. I deleted the app, buttoned up all of my intake online, then reinstalled that app. That seemed to fix things.
