My Fitbit blaze and MyFitnessPal are linked. Today, my blaze burned calories was 3924. MyFitnessPal calories adjustment was 1403. 

What is the calculation to arrive at this 1403 calories adjustment? Why would the Fitbit burned calories not be the same as the MyFitnessPal calories adjustment?

Hey there @calvous! The calorie adjustment can be negative or positive, it will be positive if the calorie burn for the day as reported by Fitbit is greater than MyFitnessPal's estimate. If the adjustment is negative this indicates that the partner's reported calorie burn is lower than MyFitnessPal's estimate. 

 

You can learn more about this integration by checking this MyFitnessPal post. 

 

Hope this helps. Robot Happy
