The Fitbit app keeps saying I've eaten way more calories than I have because it adds breakfast multiple times, lunch multiple times, etc.

Welcome to our Community @Twill6! It's nice to see you around more often @ShainaW88! Man HappyI'd suggest you try the following steps:

1. Log in to your Fitbit dashboard and click Log > Activities. 
2. Verify that the activity was not logged twice. 
3. Go to your Account Settings and scroll down to Preferences. Disable Calorie Estimation. 
4. Turn off Personalized Meal Plans in your Fitbit account. 
5. Wear your Fitbit for all activities. 
6. Log your cardio exercise on the MyFitnessPal site. 

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes! Woman Happy

It has been over a month and I'm still having the same issue. I tried to follow your instructions but under preferences it says "Food Database" and "Food Rankings" but nothing about Calorie Estimation or Personalized Meal Plans. Please explain. Thanks.
