@MGav Welcome to the Community! I apologize for the delayed response.
I appreciate that you let me know that you have linked My Fitness Pal with Fitbit.com. MyFitnessPal has changed the way they handle the Fitbit adjustment. This change is intended to give users a more accurate representation of what they should eat.
MyFitnessPal has also added a setting that controls how calorie adjustments lower than zero are accounted for in your Exercise Diary. A negative calorie adjustment means that your Fitbit's projected calorie burn for the day is lower than MyFitnessPal’s initial estimate. By default, negative calorie adjustments will now be changed to zero. If you prefer, you may opt to enable negative calorie adjustments, which will decrease your food calorie goal on days when you are less active.
We recommend leaving negative adjustments off if:
- you do not wear your tracker consistently.
- your Fitbit can only sync occasionally, or only late in the day.
- you wish to use the tracker only for the motivational experience of earning additional calories from exercise.
We recommend enabling negative adjustments if:
- you wear your tracker consistently.
- your Fitbit is able to sync its data multiple times over the course of the day.
- you would like the most accurate calorie feedback MyFitnessPal can provide.
To enable negative calorie adjustments:
1. Log in to your MyFitnessPal account at http://www.myfitnesspal.com
2. Go to My Home > Settings > Diary settings.
The Fitbit adjustment you see on your MyFitnessPal profile will only be as accurate as your last Fitbit sync time.
