    Unless it is only a few minutes past midnight, your Fitbit pretty much has to be showing that you burned more calories than that. Where are you seeing the 12 calorie number?

    Oh, okay. You're talking about the MFP app, then. Not the Fitbit app. Those 12 calories represent the number of calories MFP thinks you've burned over what MFP expected you to burn so far today.

    If you touch that adjustment and then touch again (this is the way it works on my Android, anyway), you'll see the math that MFP is using to come up with that adjustment. On the web site, it looks like this:

    If you haven't already, read the FAQ found in the stickies for the group. (If you have read it, read it again, as this question is answered there.)
