Calories not syncing correctly from MyFitnessPal

Hi there!

 

I was wondering if anybody could help me out with a problem I've noticed (or explain to me why this is happening).

 

I integrat my Fitbit with MFP. I ate 1,137 calories yesterday, and my Fitbit made an exercise adjustment of 251 extra calories (so my usual goal of 1,200 calories went up to 1,451). Seemed great! But then I went to check my Fitbit dashboard and it says I ate 1,702 calories!

 

Is that making some sort of adjustment for my relatively low exercise levels yesterday? Why would it say I ate 1,702 when I logged 1,137 on MFP?

 

Any help is much appreciated!!

@timory What does your summary says? Perhaps you logged it twice? I recommend you to contact MyFitnessPal Support. They can check your account and determine if this was an adjustment. 

 

MyFitnessPal has changed the way they handle the Fitbit adjustment. This change is intended to give users a more accurate representation of what they should eat. If you have an additional question don't hesitate to ask me here. Happy stepping! Smiley Happy

I have the same issue.

I dont think stephanie understood the question. Or maybe I didnt...but I thought he was saying that Fitbit is pulling meals from MyfitnessPal but they are not correct.

Yea, MFP makes the adjustment. If his goal is 1500 and he burns 300 working out and ate 100 calories, now he can has 1700 calories to eat according to MFP. Thats fine.

But when you go to FitBit and look at your food log it says you ate 1900 calories and you are Over Budget...😒

But you know you burned more calories than that and didnt eat that much.

So i have additional questions about the same subject.

What meals sync with Fitbit from MyFitnessPal?
Does it update if you make a correction to MFP?
Does OverBudget/UnderBudget include exercise?
