I have linked My Fitness Pal account with my Fitbit Charge HR. The food log seems to work fine but the calorie counts are different for exercise. I walked around my park and logged it as an activity on the Fitbit which states it was 155 calories burned. However, My Fitness pal shows the "Fitbit calorie adjustment" as 430. Why the big difference?

Hi there @MichelleMyBell! This is a big difference. Have you checked that your profile settings are the same on both accounts? This might be why you are getting 2 different amounts.

 

Let me know what you found out. Robot Happy
