Ok guys, I just got a Fitbit flex and have it synced with MyFitnessPal and and I am super confused on how it updates my exercise and calorie burned/intake with the negative adjustments and the the "explanation" that Fitbit and MFP gives does not help and make me more confused. Lol. For those of you who have this, what settings do you use and how am I to read this and what not. Thanks 🙂

@jymmeh Thanks for stopping by the community! Your Fitbit will sync steps and calories to MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal will sync your food logs and activities to Fitbit. Regarding the negative adjustments, you can read @SilviaFitbit 's explanation on My Fitness Pal calorie adjustment thread. I'm sorry that your post went without a response for so long. Happy stepping! Smiley Happy

I am having the same problem! On My Fitness Pal it shows that it synced with my Fit Bit and shows my current "steps", calories burned, stairs, etc., but shows no "calorie adjustment" for "steps" , etc., as My Fitness Pal did before I synced with FitBit. Anyway to figure out how many calories I am burning?
