I have linked my Fitbit with MyFitnessPal app on my phone.  My question is about calories burned.  My Fitbit app says I've burned 1017 calories today,  The MyFitnessPal app says I've burned 0 today.  Yesterday Fitbit says I burned 2110 calories and MyFitnessPal says I burned 178 calories.  How do I get these two numbers to be the same?  If I walked and burned 2110 in a day I'd like for that to be added to my calories burned equation on the MyFitnessPal app.  Any suggestions?  I've reinstalled and re-synced the accounts twice so far.

@jwade8806 Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned and the troubleshooting tried. 

 

I'll be happy to clarify your question. There's going to be a calorie adjustment in MyFitnessPal to make sure both applications are showing you the same data, please check this post to learn how to make both accounts show the same information. 

 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.
