MyFitnessPal and Fitbit calories not matching up

[psicocat]

Does anyone using myfitnesspal.com linked to their fitbit one noticed that the calories left for the day are no longer matching up, last few days mine has been 300 ish calories out but usually there is a max of 5 calories difference.

Thanks

@psicocat It will a pleasure to help you!

The calories that you should eat, should match in both platforms. There will be a Fitbit Adjustment in MyFitnessPal in order for it to show you the same amount of calories burned. If you're not seeing the same calories, please unlink and relink both accounts. 

Additionaly, you can read this helpful article about the Fitbit Adjustment. 

Don't hesitate to get back to me if you need further assistance

Hi! I tried doing this and it still didn’t fix it.

Hey guys! I had the same problem but figured it out. I noticed on MyFitnessPal online a couple food items I erased on the app were still showing on the online food log. Once I deleted those and reopened my Fitbit app the calories were now the exact same! Hope this helps!
