This problem began several days ago when my iPhone FitBit app updated itself while the app was running in the background. This is the v2.12 update release 7/30/2015.

 

Since then the FitBit app will periodically add multiple entries for Meal Names, see pic below. I have one entry for each addition of food instead of a single entry updating itself. The correct amount is 230 (not 470). I can delete the duplicate entries. Is this happening to anyone else? I am going to uninstall and reinstall to see if  that fixes it.

It is happening to me, also.  Uninstalling and reinstalling has not helped. I just keep deleting the duplicates until this issue is resolved.

 

It appears to be caused by an automatic sync occuring while I am making entries for a meal. If I get it all entered fast enough, no duplicate. Slower entry and one or more duplicate entries are posting as they accumulate for a particular meal.

I'm still having this issue. I'm doing what NancyFL does too and just deleting the innacurate ones from each meal. I also notice it sees to happen when I enter additional food in for a meal I already have food in for. If I add it all at once it doesn't seem to happen. Hopefully this is fixed soon, it never use to happen. I only use MFP strictly for food entry to carry over to fitbit.
