Hi all! I have a Polar watch synced to myfitnesspal app and I don't understand the calorie equation! I have daily goal minus food intake minus exercise = remaining. However when I exercise I expect calories remaining for the rest of the day to go up but they go down??! Please can you help?!

    What do you have your activity level set at on MFP?

    Do you have your Polar set on MFP to do the negative option?

    I have a fitbit flex and I allow the negative calorie option.
    When I log a workout, and my fitbit is tracking... it will minus out my fitbit steps so that I am burning more than what I should be.
