Hey! I just got a fit bit the other day and have been loving it so far! I just went for a 50minute walk, sort of as mild/moderate pace the average pace tracked was around 3 miles an hour. Anyways, if I put that info into exercise on mfp it would come up as say 200 cals, whereas on my fit bit it’s a bit over 400! It’s hot where I live and all, and I walked up some slight hills.
Would you guys consider this to be accurate?

    MFP is taking into account your activity level. If you put lightly active or active, the Fitbit adjustment is less. If you chose not very active, it would be higher.

    Are you talking about an adjustment (based on the sync from Fitbit to MFP) or are you talking about the difference between what your Fitbit is showing and what you would see if you logged the exercise on MFP from the database?
