Hello,

I noticed that I'm seeing far fewer calories burned in Myfitnesspal lately compared to prior weeks, with the same level of Fitbit step activity. Perhaps half as many calories. Did the formula get updated this week?

 

Thanks

Are you also seeing the same thing on the Fitbit website? If not, sounds like something changed over at MFP.

I dont understand re: seeing the same thing on the Fitbit website. I'm seeing fewer calories in the adjustment area. For example, today I lifted weights, did eliptical (~10K steps), rode my bike, and walked another ~10K steps. I added line items in MFP for the first three items. Fitbit shows ~20K steps, which would normally result in a ~300-400 calorie adjustment in MFP, but right now it's showing 0.
