Does anybody have their fitbit synced to mfp?

It's subtracting calories burned from what I'm allowed to eat, which is odd. You would think it would add calories burned to what I'm allowed to eat. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it doing this for anyone? I'm only looking at what i've eaten anyways. I'm just wondering whyit's doing this. Obviously I won't replace what's burned, otherwise I would never make progress.

Not sure what you mean.

Do you mean it says

Daily goal -Food eaten+adjustment=net

or

Daily goal-Food-fitbit=net?

If 2nd probably negative adjustment due to low activity so far.

Mine was at -80 this morning but currently sitting at +115

i turned off negative adjustment, and now fitbit can only add exercise calories, not remove calories burned.

I used to but it added too many exercise calories so I all together scrapped it. I was constantly in a deficit as a result. I don't considering my steps throughout the course of a normal day exercise unless I am briskly walking intentionally.

Mine always starts the day with about -80 calories. As I am active during the day that number decreases and eventually becomes positive. Right now I'm sitting at -44 but once I get off work and can get more active I usually end up with 200-400 depending on my activity.

My Fitbit is having a syncing error at the moment. Maybe your's is having the same issue.

I believe it was saying

Daily calories - calories consumed - exercise

I just noticed it had somehow deselcted my fitbit to count the steps so I reselected it. I'm not sure where it was even getting a number for exercise calories because I haven't worked out yet

Exercise calories = being alive calories. There is no differentiation between calories burned from exercise vs BMR calories.
FitBit projects your total daily burn based off past data and current trends from today- so if you have an unusually low day it will start giving you negatives.

I always have a negative adjustment in the mourning until I get going four the day when fitbit/mfp start to notice that I just haven't started moving yet. You earn more though the day. By the end of the day my -100 is usually 4-500 additional calories.

That makes sense
