so, here's how i understand the giving and the taking away of calories between mfp and fitbit. i could be wrong, but it makes sense to me so i am going with it until someone tells me i'm wrong (cue mfp forum)

mfp gives you your calories all at once. if you have 1200 per day then that's what you get. but fitbit only gives you the calories as you burn them. so, if you have a really active morning and burn 800 calories running, fitbit syncs to mfp and mfp gives you all those calories up front and adds them to your 1200 and now you have 2000. but then you go and lay on the couch and don't move for the rest of the day and for that time you're burning less than mfp anticipated but mfp doesn't know that until fitbit syncs again and tells it so. so then mfp takes some of your calories away and now you're back down a bit.

i just obsessively sync them throughout the day and especially before eating so i can keep it on track.

@PAV8888 Is this just Fitbit that cals it that way? Wondering as I don't have the same issues with my Garmin. If you don't know, that's cool.

Hey @Tacklewasher back when I had a Garmin I didn't have MFP

As far as I know integration should work similarly, I.e. MFP compared your calories spent per MFP to calories spent per device at point of time and adjusts.

But if you don't "lose" calories when you're inactive, check that negative adjustments are enabled.

Otherwise maybe your MFP and Garmin are more in tune as to your sedentary calories?!?!
