Dashboard VS Food Diary

[Grumpy_from_Oz]

I use Fitbit for activity and MFP for food (just me) Fitbit brings over the calories I consume from MFP as a matter of course but I haven't bothered with this yet. I noticed today that whereas my FB Dashboard says I burned 2952 calories the FB Food Diary says I have 1952 calories to burn on that day, exactly 1000 calories less then my dashboard - its the same for all the entries I have checked so far. My baseline on the FB dashboard is 1460 calories. Does this make sense to anybody ? Which is the accurate calorie burn ?

Hi @Grumpy_from_Oz

Moved this thread from the Flex to the Third-Party Integrations section to increase the chance of getting a solution.

Wishing a wonderful weekend

Thanks

@Grumpy_from_Oz Welcome to the Community! The Dashboard should show you the same information in both parts, meaning that the calories burned should show you the same info in calories tile and food tile. Please provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing and I'll investigate it. 

Keep me posted.

Some where along the way I upped the intensity level and this deducts a neat 1000 calories off my food plan - can't remember doing it but this is the answer.

I have set my calorie limit to match the MFP recommendation so I have 'double dipped". Do not use FB for food logging so not a big problem

Thanks for the advice/assistance.

@Grumpy_from_Oz Thanks for the details that you mentioned. If you have Fitbit and MyFitnessPal synced then don't use Fitbit to log food, just use MFP to log your food and let Fitbit sync your calories. You may want to check this helpful post MyFitnessPal: How to correct calorie discrepancy from MFP to Fitbit. 

Hope I can continue seeing you around .

Having an issue with Fitbit vs MFP food dairy, Fitbit is doubling some items.  I have deleted and re-entered in MFP , deleted the duplication in Fitbit, and it still is doubling one item.  This is very frustrating.
