Hi all

 

Every morning after my run, my fitbit adjusts my daily calories in myfitnesspal accordingly. However for the last two days this value has been disappearing on me. Sometimes I don't wear my fitbit to work, does this have anything to do with it. Yesterday I disconnect and reconnected the two. This morning after my run myfitnesspal said I had 266 extra calories due to my run. Now nothing is recorded there???

@Mrsmurph06 Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thank for the details shared. 

 

I appreciate the troubleshooting tried prior to posting. When your Fitbit and MyFitnessPal account are connected, MyFitnessPal will show a calorie adjustment. 

 

MyFitnessPal pulls your calorie burn directly from Fitbit's total daily calorie. We then project forward to the end of the day based on your calorie burn so far. If this full-day number is different than MyFitnessPal’s estimate for your daily calorie burn, an adjustment will be made to your caloric intake goal. This adjustment can either be positive or negative. If the adjustment is positive, this indicates that your calorie burn for the day as reported by Fitbit is greater than MyFitnessPal’s estimate. If the adjustment is negative this indicates that the partner's reported calorie burn is lower than MyFitnessPal’s estimate.

 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
