Yesterday I clocked 7200 steps, and got only 116 calories in adjustment although I ran 10 minutes of those + 40 minutes of walking. I thought it was vastly under-estimmated.
Febreuery 25th I clocked 7400 steps, did not run or walk particularely fast, but had a busy day and needed to walk around the house a lot. I got a 387 calorie adjustment. I felt it was vastly over-estimated.
Since the adjustment keeps changing throughout the day I only look at it next day by going back a day in myfitnesspal diary, so the difference is not caused by looking at projected calories.
The only difference between the two cases is that yesterday I did most of my activity in the morning, while in the second case I did in the evening.
Interestingly, according to fitbit It appears I burned more calories on Tuesday than I did yesterday, even though I did not run and barely made it to 5900 steps, just because for the latter half of yesterday I barely moved because I had a lot of (sedentary) work.
I did not log any workouts on either website because walking and running is all I did on those days.

It's nice to have you here @Amused. My apologies for the late reply. To follow up on this, I wanted to ask you, are you seeing this calorie inaccuracy on MFP or your Fitbit Dashboard? Are you referring to your Food Plan on your Dashboard as well?

Let me know if you need further assistance.
