    This glitch has made MFP almost useless for me. I exercise early in the morning, but even before I step out the door I have 2k calories to burn THEN I work out and have even more. I plan my meals by going off how I moved for the day- if it’s this inaccurate I have not a whole lot to go on. I’m beyond frustrated. I’ve been tracking and hoping the problem would get fixed… but I’m hitting my limit.

    Having the same problem. Restarted the Fitbit and reinstalled both apps. MFP said it was a Fitbit problem but if i look at the calories listed in my Fitbit app they’re correct. I’ve always loved MFP but not willing to pay for an app that doesn’t work. Anyone find an app with similar features that they like?

    I'm quick adding the same sum as the extra exercise calories to get a better idea of where i am. Not perfect but works until the bug is fixed

    Fitbit themselves have said the problem is on their side (I saw a link in one of the topics about this issue linking to a message from Fitbit).

    I’m done with FitBit now. I bought a Garmin Viviomove Trend. I’ve been a customer of FitBit for 7 years, spent lots of money on multiple watches and their app. This problem of adding calories has me fed up. My health monitoring is too important to me and I want accurate numbers. Good bye FitBit. You should have fixed this problem sooner bc now you’ve lost a loyal customer.

    Is it me or is finally fixed? I woke up to no extra calories and was so relieved!

    It still doesn't seem right, on MFP it's giving me a negative calorie burn for Fitbit, so even though I burned 119 calories for my workout it's only saying I burned 62 calories. Can we fix this please? It has gone from one extreme to the other!
