MFP and Fitbit calorie adjustment

[Misty_Moolman]

Hi I've been using MFP to count calories and exercise and how it used to work is that I input the calories eaten (which becomes a minus) and the exercise (which becomes a plus, on calories)... However now that the Fitbit is linked there's a calorie adjustment system which I don't really understand. The only time it adjusts my calories is when I've had a crazy amount of exercise during the day... Surely if I've burned 300 Cal's on my Fitbit, that should be added to MFP as a positive adjustment, regardless if the pre set calories burned on MFP is exceeded? How does MFP get their 'calories burned' from? How is it calculated? Mine is set at 2244 calories, no clue where it gets that from...Please explain the system so I better understand what I can and can't do it calories in...thanks T
