Fitbit and Myfitnesspal question

[jandyanj]

I have Fitbit sync to Myfitnesspal

I log my food into MFP but the amount does not mach what is showing in calories eating on Fitbit

In fact it can almost be double

For example

Sunday my actual calories on MFP was 1488 but Fitbit shows Calories eating at 3100

Monday my actual calories on MFP was 1501 but Fitbit shows Calories eating at 2,747

I have no idea why the Fitbit shows so many calories - does anyone know?

thanks

Did you check how many meal summaries you have in Fitbit? Sometimes mfp screws up and doesn't delete old ones as you edit things in mfp. The issue should resolve itself soon and in the meantime you can just delete the duplicate entries from Fitbit.

Most days I do show 2 summery - I see on Friday I have 4 all day summary - do you get a summary everytime you sync Fitbit?

[MakMak]

You should have a summary for each meal you add in mfp. MFP should add the meal to Fitbit whenever you add or change the meal in mfp. It should delete the meal and replace it, but sometimes it doesn't, which is when you end up with duplicate entries.

@MakMak That's correct, unfortunately. 

@jandyanj There's a thread for this issue if you go here.
