so I changed my weight +5 pounds at the beginning of this week and now fitbit is telling me i'm burning like a few hundred more calories a day. anyone else's fitbit doing something crazy? Like maybe its double counting exercise calories burned or something?

    Shouldn't you be burning more if you weigh more? A slightly higher BMR and all that?

    when you're heavier you get more calories - are you moving more too?

    do your stats on MFP and fitbit match?

    If it is really odd email fitbit

    The BMR should not be that different at 5 pounds.

    Edited to add... Do you download your data from Fitbit? If so, can you look back at your data and see non active days and active days (calories in and calories out, calorie burn, calories eaten)... I have not had this and I use the Fitbit Charge...

    ALso when my weight changes in MFP it is synced with Fitbit so make sure they both have your weight the same...

    As I think about this some more I can probably see I can figure out what is going on... But what Fitbit are your using?
