hey y'all. I just started syncing the map my walk app with MFP, but.... I don't want it to add my exercise calories to my food calories. Does anyone know if there a plug in to stop this?

    I think you have to turn off the "negative calorie adjustment' option

    You can also go in and edit your calorie burn each time. A bit of a PITA, but it will keep your exercise info without increasing your calories allowed.

    Yes.. that will work. I just don't like seeing that higher number, knowing it will fool me into thinking I can eat more :)
    Thanks
