Calories Discrepancies between MyFitnessPal and Fitbit

[kah22]

Help me understand this. I have Fitbit and MyFitnessPal tied together. After putting in all the relevant information MFP set me a target of 1500 calories per day to loose 1.5 lbs per week. I have set my own goal in Fitbit to the 1500 calories.

At the time of writing 22.40 Fitbit is showing me 1573 calories in, as is MFP, that's 73 over my daily total. That's fine. However Fitbit is also showing that I burned 2780 calories. So am I not 1207 calories to the good? ( 2780-1573)

Hop over to MFP and I'm presented with the figures Goal 1500; Food 1573; Exercise 757; Remaining 684. MFP also shows a calorie adjustment of 757

I don't understand the relationship between the 1207 calories in Fitbit and the 684 that MFP shows as remaining!

My main exercise today came from 15000 steps. Can you help me understand those figures?

Hello @kah22, good to see you again. I see you are having some questions about the adjustment of calories among Fitbit and MyFitnessPal.

I would like to see a comparative screenshot to have a closer look of your calories among MFP and Fitbit to know better about your concern. But taking base of what you described on your post, note at MyFitnessPal, there is already an estimation of the amount of calories you will need for the day, based on your profile information, and the general activity level you selected (lightly active, very active, etc). When your Fitbit tells MFP how many calories you are on track to burn by the end of the day, MyFitnessPal updates your calorie goal to keep you on track for your targeted weight loss or weight gain.

Please take a look at @SteveH explanation here about the adjustment of calories of MFP for more details from a user perspective.

To learn more about the calorie allowance on your Fitbit account please have a look at this example, I believe it will explain how the calories allowances work in relation yo your calories burned.

Hope this helps and let me know if there are more details you would like to know.
