When I log excercise into My Fitness Pal, it appears to reduce the amount of "very active minutes" shown on my Fitbit dashboard, is this usual?

 

For instance today, prior to my logging of excercise, my dashboard showed 42 very active minutes, after I logged 40 minutes of walking and 15 minutes of cycling into my fitness pal my dashboard automatically reduced my very active minute reading down to 16 minutes.  If anything I would have expected my active minute reading to increase!

 

Can anyone explain why this happens?

Yes, manually logging activities here or on another website over-writes the tracker info so you lose VAM for that period of time.
