Boy they are off... FB calculated my daily burn at 2270 and MFP calculates it at 1750. How the hell can that be?

    if you integrate them MFP adjusts itself using the fitbit data.

    You presumably put something into MFP that was a lower level of activity than the fitbit clocked ?

    1750 on MFP = 1458 BMR * 1.2 for sedentary ??

    I had originally set MFP as sedentary but after using my Fitbit for a few months I adjusted to active and now get a much more realistic adjustment when I sync the 2. I burn on average 1850 cals per day which increases to well over 2200 with exercise. MFP had my base level as 1560.
    You will need to play around with the activity settings on MFP to find one close to your Fitbit.
