Food calorie count different in MFP and linked Garmin app

Nicki_Tighe

Hi all, I have my fitness pal (mfp) linked to my Garmin account (Vivosmart 3 watch). I’ve only been on the mfp for a few days but I’ve noticed the food calorie intake in mfp is different from the Garmin app. For example today mfp says my food intake is 1892 calories but Garmin says it is 2442 calories. Any ideas???? The mfp app looks correct.
Thanks :-)

MFP does not take into account any exercise calories whereas your garmin does - if you were to log purposeful exercise in MFP - i would guess they would be very similar
