Inaccurate logging streak?

So MFP says I've logged fifteen days in a row, but with the exception of maybe one week (or less) I've only been logging exercise, as I haven't started to get diligent about my food intake yet. Anyway, I understand that when I log exercise but not food it still technically counts as a day logged, but there have been a few days where I haven't exercised so haven't logged at all - and it still says I'm on a fifteen-day streak. Does anyone know why?

    I believe as long as you access the site, it counts towards your streak. I don't think you actually have to log anything for a day to count.

    Correct. If you log on or open the app, it counts as a day for your streak even if you log nothing on that day.

    All you have to do is log in. There are people who don't log their food/exercise and have long streaks.

    I have a fitbit and if that syncs in it counts as a "logged day." Even if you went in and entered a single cookie as your only food it'll count it as a day,

    yep - I wanted my streak to re-start on Jan first since I hadn't been logging consistently - I stayed completely OFF the site and app for the entire 31st - it was hard! But my streak ended and all is good. 9 day streak now!

    I forgot to log in yesterday and instead of taking me back to 1 day for my streak, it advanced me 2 days. I saw it change the number upward.
