So, I've walked 6,000 steps today so far. It's been kind of a lazy day, but I wanted to actually manually add in my workouts because I hadn't been doing that lately. Well, when I add in my elliptical and tennis, Fitbit takes away all the calories I supposedly burnt just walking around today, or only leaving a portion of them. I have the negative adjustments disabled, but this seems like a pretty negative adjustment going from a little over 100 calories to nada.

    Take a good look at when the fitbit counted those steps and compare the times to your logged workouts. You can either count the calories from the steps or from the activity .. not both. Fitbit's site overwrites the period of a workout and the logged activity takes priority over the step calculation.
