Hi guys,

MFP is linked to my jawbone app. I'm adding all my food into this site as I find it easier to use but when I look at the scores it gives me for food on jawbone they don't translate correctly. For example, eating an apple and banana gives me a really low score and puts it in the bracket of food to avoid. This can't be right?! Is the Problem with MFP or Jawbone? Has anyone else found this?

    I ignore jawbone and the food thing...some of the food ratings are silly...the apple/banana could be the sugar content.

    I have the Jawbone UP24 and it does the same thing. I wish I could remove it from the UP app but haven't found a way. I try to ignore it since it makes absolutely no sense.

    You can learn more in the MFPJawbone UP Bracelet group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/13420-jawbone-up-bracelet

    Ignore UP's green "food score." I also ignore MFP's "this food is high in whatever" comments.

    Your UP total burn is TDEE—way more accurate than any online calculator. If you eat at a reasonable deficit from that, you will lose weight.
