New to the Fitbit scene here, merry Christmas to me! So I've been using mfp for awhile and in order to lose 1.5lbs per week with my added information mfp allowed 1700 calories. I know it changes given a work out and so on but Fitbit is telling me I'm only allowed 1035 calories. Big difference so I'm 100% confused. Help!

@NotreDame A warm welcome to the Fitbit Family! Merry Christmas Robot Happy. Fitbit and MFP should give you the same information because there will be a calorie adjustment so there isn't any difference. You can learn more about it What is the Calorie Adjustment in my Exercise Diary?. I would like you to make sure that your Fitbit is syncing when you're going to see your MFP account so it shows you the same information. 

 

Also, you can try unlinking and relinking both accounts. Go to your Dashboard > Applications > below MFP please click on "revoke access".  

 

Hope this helps. 

 

P.S. I moved your post to the third party integrations board.

Not the same at all. I understand my Fitbit consistently adds calories thru the day because of what I'm burning or working out but my calories end around 1700 at the end of the day and they stay at 1900 on mfp. It just confuses me completely. Sent from my iPhone
