Strange calorie burns

Has anyone had strange calorie adjustments the past couple days? Today it said over 21,000. It seems to somewhat adjust if I disconnect and re-connect but today is still way off. I did sign up for premium and have the calories not affect my food goals. Could there be a glitch there?

    No issue here. On initial sync at 9:30 pm, within 30 seconds MFP was updated correctly.

    No app usage, sync with computer.


    When you click the "i" for more info on the calorie adjustment - are the stats there correct for what Fitbit is showing on your account there?

    Or time way off, or time right calories way off?

    Might force a change on Fitbit's side to daily calorie count so it'll report fresh values to MFP.
    Log a workout there for 500 calories.
    Wait for sync to MFP as confirmed by new time stamp on the adjustment info screen.
    Delete the workout on Fitbit.
    Confirm sync again.

    Same bad math?

    No the numbers are different. I don't think I could possibly burn over 21,000 calories a day. Even when I delete the app and re-install it seems off. My activity is fairly consistent so I know where it should be and its still a bit high

    Same problems here....it seems to have started after the last FitBit update on Apple. MFP Calories Burned are now negative so they are being added to the FitBit Calories Burned.

    Have you deleted the Fitbit calorie adjustment entry?

    And does it come back later with same bogus calorie burn?

    Yes - I had that when I updated the app the other day. Fitbit had changed my weight to almost 90 stone. It was fun altering it and having MFP tell me I'd lost nearly all of it since my last weigh in :smiley:

    Once I change my weight back all was good again.

    I too just noticed this obvious GLITCH. I thought it just began today as I almost daily check "Fitbit calorie adjustment" but I see that the numbers are UNREASONABLE since Thu 7/16.

    I just found this 'news' http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2039583--fitbit-sync-delay---updated-6-29-15-
    no update since 6/29. 7/16 was the 1st date I noticed any issues. perhaps this article covers the issue?
    (it mentions odd adjustments).

    When I delete the Fitbit adjustment and sync it usually fixes it. I hope they fix this
