My calories during exercise not correct

sharonsummerall

I’m using Fitbit but at end of day it’s saying I burned a lot more calories. For instance, today I burned 1735 calories and MFP says I burned 75. Any help is appreciated!!

Hi @sharonsummerall, this is a common point of confusion that is likely not a bug. On the Fitbit app, you'll notice that your total burn is 1735- this isn't the same as what MFP is showing, which is your adjusted calorie burn which takes your Activity Level and other information from your MFP account into consideration.

Durden… followed directions that you attached to your answer. Under exercise it’s showing Apple Watch calorie adjustment. I did have an Apple Watch but now I don’t. When I then go to devices it shows a fit bit and no Apple Watch!
