MFP seems to constantly log calories burned around 300 calories more than my FitBit charge. Is there any way to fix this?

Have you checked that your profile settings for age, height, weight etc are the same in both fitbit and MFP?

Actually, nevermind! I had MFP height in feet and inches but FitBit in centimeters. I'm inbetween heights so MFP was off by maybe +0.5 inch. Hopefully this sorts everything out 🙂

Unfortunately, after matching my profiles, my calories burned still is't matching at all.

Hello @marip, welcome aboard to the Fitbti Community. I noticed @SteveH has provided you a great piece of advice for this issue with the calories difference. However if the issue persists maybe this other post might give you an extra help: MyFitnessPal: How to correct calorie discrepancy from MFP to Fitbit.

 

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.
