    I was wondering the same thing! Every morning wake up and I am usually -100 for exercise calories. I just noticed that this week, so I don't know if it is something new or I never noticed it before.

    Do you have a Fitbit or another tracker synced?

    This. It probably has to do with your activity tracker.
    It assumes a total amount of activity and divides it over the complete day. However, when you sleep you aren't very active, so your tracker adjust accordingly. As the day progresses and you are active that number should become positive.

    It means your fitness tracker is reporting that you've burnt less calories than MFP was expecting you to by this point in the day. MFP sees that and correspondingly reduces your calorie limit.
