Afternoon all

First post on here. Just a quick query have recently started using mfp. I have an Apple Watch which obviously i use to track steps and exercise Today I have linked my health app and it has tracked 8515 steps adding 258 calories into my allowance. However it has also tracked my 3 mile run on health app today which I recorded as an activity which has added another 390 calories onto my daily allowance so I have quite a few more calories extra. Can someone advise if this is correct or if I am duplicating number of calories allowed as majority of steps achieved have come from my exercise which was a run

    If it looks like the following, it’s an error. There’s a glitch in the update that we got in the past few days that’s doubling exercise entries.

    You can swipe left to delete the duplicate.

    If you’re talking about getting credit for running steps as part of regular steps, enable the Apple Watch Calorie Adjustment. It will remove the duplicate credit via a “negative” adjustment as shown above.
