MFP & FitBit: FitBit Calories not showing under "My Exercise Diary"

in Getting Started
I have everything linked & synced properly with my FitBit & MFP. However, when I go to "My Exercise Diary" it has a line item for "Fitbit Calorie Adjustment" and then has "N/A" under "Minutes" (ok, I get that) but then it has a "0" under "Calories Burned", however I have currently burned 1,757 calories, according to my FitBit. How do those get in there? I had to obviously manually add my workouts from this morning for them to show up in the "My Exercise Diary" so do I also have to manually enter my FitBit calories too? I thought those would just sync as well? Everything else seems to be working with my FitBit/MFP sync otherwise. Thanks.

    If your activity level is set to something other than Sedentary, then that plus your manually added exercise calories are going to override your Fitbit adjustment. To see a positive adjustment, you would have to burn more calories beyond your reported activity level. Also, make sure you have negative adjustments enabled.

    I have mine synced/linked and I only enter food on MFP - no exercise. I let my FitBit calculate my TDEE and then sync with MFP to show my daily adjustment.

    Best of luck! :flowerforyou:
