Extra Calories burned linking to MFP

[zodybee]

I've been using Fitbit One linked to My Fitness Pal for over a year now and ran into issues which began yesterday. I go on the very same 5K brisk walk several times per week which 'earns' me an extra 175-220 calories burned shown on MFP. Yesterday it only showed 130 which quickly dropped to 84 by the end of the day. I'm used to the calories burned dropping to about 150 calories but never had the calories burned be so low for the same 5K route. It's too low at 130 extra calories. Today, I may not have had the time to workout or go for my walk but I was running around doing errands all day and was surprised to see '0' extra calories burned during the day. This does not make any sense to me at all. I tried uninstalling MFP and revoking access from MFP in Fitbit Applications and then reinstalling but nothing happened.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem or if not, any solutions for this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@zodybee Hey there! I appreciate the troubleshooting that you've done. As you may know because you mentioned that you've used your tracker for over a year, Fitbit will do a Calorie Adjustment but this won't be every day because it's based in the amount of calories burned that you have in Fitbit and in MFP, you can read more about it here. 

So, the Fitbit Calorie Adjustment will change during the day always based in the amount of calories burned. As you can see below "Fitbit Calories Burned" - Full Day Projection there will say (Based on 883 calories burned as of 10:38 am)

Hope this helps you

Thanks for your reply, Silvia. I am well aware of how the calories burned works with MFP with negative adjustments meaning I can eat MORE! The other day, on which I wrote, seemed to be a very strange one. Although I did my usual run around errands, my steps and calories burned were at an all time low for that one day. It was strange in that my entire calories burned for the 24 hour period was all of 1190. Using the Harris Benedict Equation, my BMR is 1123. It's hard to believe that I only burned off 67 more calories than if I spent the entire 24 hours sleeping. Luckily it was a one time incident so I will brush it off.

What continues to happen is the reverting of my birthdate to 01/01/70. I happened two days ago and again briefly this morning. The birthdate reverted back to what it should be without me having to change it. It was such an oddity!

Other than these issues, I continue to use my Fitbit One daily mostly as a motivator to get out there and do more!

@zodybee That's great to hear! Regarding the birthdate reverting back to 01/01/70 currently it's a bug rest assure that our engineers are working on a fix, you may want to check the main thread because as soon as we have any information or workaround someone will update it there. 

Thank you for your patience, it's great to hear that you're enjoying your Fitbit.
