Hello all you wonderful people! I've got a question for ya...so, I have linked my Misfit Shine tracker to MFP. It keeps track of steps (syncs) perfectly. But here's the problem-
I work for FedEx (delivery driver) and at the end of the day on the Misfit app, I easily log over 12,000 steps, and well over 2,000 calories burned. It's a physical job.

So when I sync it to MFP, it correctly shows the right steps, but it only gives me in the ballpark of 100 calories burned for the day! Now I know I burn a HECK of a lot more than 100 calories through the course of my day.

Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you much!!

    If you have already set your activity level to Very Active, you might not be exceeding that estimate by more than 100 calories or so. The rest of the calories would already be accounted for in your Very Active lifestyle.

    If you want the appearance of earning more calories, you could set yourself as Sedentary - then you'll earn OODLES of extra calories, but the total will probably not be any more than what you already get.

    Or perhaps I'm troubleshooting entirely the wrong question.
