I received my fitbit charge hr a few days ago, set it up and everything worked as it should, but now it shows my calorie adjustment as zero, could anyone explain this to me? ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting it to mfp numerous times but it still shows as zero, beginning to think ive wasted my money.

    Do you have negative adjustments turned on?

    0 adjustments mean that either you have burned less than what MFP thinks you would WITHOUT negative adjustments on or you are burning exactly what MFP thinks you should be burning.

    This.

    From the MFP web site, click Settings -> Diary Settings, and check the box next to "Enable Negative Adjustments."

    With this selected you may see negative calorie adjustments on days that you don't move as much as your current settings allow, but when you move more than that you will receive additional calories.

    What's your activity level in MFP and how many steps are you getting in?

    If you told MFP you were sedentary, I think it doesn't start giving you EXTRA calories until you hit 3k steps. The numbers are higher for higher activity levels.
