fitbit calorie count not matching to MFP for some exercise sessions

I have a Charge HR which I've been using in conjunction with MFP for almost 3 months.  A couple of times, I have been for a long walk and burned 600-700 calories (according to my fitbit exercise tracker) but the MFP app only shows up the exercise count as about half of this.  This has happened at least twice (a couple of weeks apart) that I've noticed because I've been bumping up the calories burned to compensate for weekend meals.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions to solve it?

Fitbit HR monitors overcompensate generally. I always go off mfp. Make sure you have negative calories active as well
