Need help syncing Fit Bit to MFP so calories are right

Still trying to figure out how to navigate between what my Fit Bit is telling me and this website. For example, so far today, according to my Fit Bit, I have burned 1,720 calories yet I am over my calorie goal of 1,310 by 66 calories because the Fit Bit only adjusted my calories for activities by -88. Hmmm??? I know that I am under calories by 251 and would like to see that on this profile, but I don't know how to sync the goals... Does anyone know how to make this work?

    When you look at your home page, and goals, you will see on the right hand side Calories from daily activities.

    That is what the fitbit calories are compared to, not your actual calorie goal.

    So if MFP thinks you'll burn 2000, and you burn 2200, it allows you an extra 200.
    Or vice versa, if you've been inactive, it can take calories away.

    I can't seem to find "calories from daily activities" on the home page. Is it under profile or settings or some other view?

    Appreciate your help.

    Found it, thanks. Funny, I rarely look at that page.
