My fitbit report on food is giving more calories than I'm recording in myfitnesspal. Not doing anything predictable like doubling, just extra points on some days, but not all days. Any advice? Thanks. I have the HR charge and am a premium member. Thank you!

Did you check how many meal summaries you have in Fitbit? Sometimes mfp screws up and doesn't delete old ones as you edit things in mfp. You should have a summary for each meal you add in mfp. MFP should add the meal to Fitbit whenever you add or change the meal in mfp. It should delete the meal and replace it, but sometimes it doesn't, which is when you end up with duplicate entries. The issue should resolve itself soon and in the meantime you can just delete the duplicate entries from Fitbit.

Aha! That had happened before, but it had been long enough ago that I did not remember. Thanks so much for your helpful answer!
