    Set MFP to sedentary and enable negative calories

    Set same goals and time zones on both

    Set your stride length on your fitbit

    It works

    It gets better over time, remember it extrapolates burn for the day based on how much you've moved to that point in time so if you move a lot first thing it will assume the same rate through the day until you next log on and it adjusts again.

    Exactly, it takes your basal metabolism rate and applies it across the day so if you burn say 2,000kcal a day doing nothing, you'll have burned 1,000kcal by midday.
