So I've synced up my wristwatch tracker to myfitness pal but am getting negative calories for excercise.. calories given - calories consumed - excercise giving me a smaller allowance. Surely it should be + excercise. Help please anyone

    It will even out during the day... I start on -250 ish! :)

    I think mfp also subtracts the amount of cals you'd have burned anyway in that time frame (when you were working out, from if you'd just been sat on your bum!)

    I've specially not synced mine because I didn't want to get freaked out!

    Just delete the exercise calories. Mine auto syncs but at the end of each day I remove my exercise calories so that I monitor consumption/calories in only. I then use fitbit to see what my deficit is. If you are looking to gain weight, leave it sync'd as it shows where you need to up the calories. I don't know how it affects macros however, but assume if you have macro's set, it just spreads across using 40/40/20 or whatever macro set up you have.
