Myfitnesspal adds calories during night after sync

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Myfitnesspal is integrated with my fitbit charge hr. But when I come home from work and I sync, I notice my calorieusage goes from my normal 1700 - 1800 calories up to around 400 more, to around 2100 - 2200. 

 

I started investigating the problem and it seems myfitnesspal adds an exercise in the fitbit activity log during night after I have synced. Like this: Walking 3mph, 4 hours. When I delete the activity it goes back to normal. 

 

Its strange, because in the log it says the "activity" allways starts exactly 23.00 and lasts untill 03.00 during night. And thats when I sleep. Well I usually go to sleep 23.30 to 24.00 ish. But the activity is allways added after a sync when I get home after work, not during a sync at work. Then I have to manually delete it again. Not a huge problem, just frustrating.

 

Is it possible to make the myfitnesspal app to only read my fitbit data, not writing to it as well?

It's great to have you here @mclulz. My apologies for the late reply. I wanted to follow up on the issue you were experiencing with MFP. It seems that this issue is being generated from their end, were you able to contact them? Are you still experiencing the same issue? 

 

Keep me posted. Smiley Happy
