veloman, you have to see what the difference is between your Garmin so-called "bmr" each day and what you will find in MFP under "goals" as the Calories burned in normal activity. Because the difference there will reflect in your exercise adjustment. I had to re-adjust all my goals in mfp, because I had it kinda rigged up in a way that only I understood. Once I went in and made MFP sedentary and my deficit, then there's no "assumed" activity by mfp, instead garmin takes care of that with the adjustment. SOrry if that doesn't make sense, b/c i can't even quite make it all out sometimes, but I just know from experience that you have to get your Goals setup correctly (the farther the MFP normal activity caloires is from the Garmin so-called "bmr", the stranger that exercise adjustment will be, I think.

I'm having problems in general in Firefox, so I'm using Google Chrome. Have you tried a different browser?

I know Garmin was shutdown for a bit today, they are obviously working and tweaking it daily.

At various times today everything looked right and other times it was a terrible mess--depending on my logged meals. As for the meal labels--I don't know. There is something to do with the meals, but I don't know if it's the labels or just the mere existence of more than 4 meals and that some of those meals somewhere in the middle might be left blank. I could NOT get the correct cals to move from MFP to Garmin UNTIL I made sure that all of my day's calories were contained in 4 consecutive meals (no skipped meals in the middle; but skipped meals on the ends, like in the first and sixth position is okay). ugh!!!!

If you are having troubles, just try it...to log all your foods into just 4 of your meals, all consecutive (no skipped meals) and see if that helps. I finally moved my early morning meal down to my mid-morning slot which had been blank, just so I could have 4 consecutive logged meals--after that everything showed up okay in Garmin. Before I did that, it was only taking data from part of the day because it wouldn't bring anything from earlier because of that skipped meal. sigh. They've GOT to get that fixed.

Could it have dropped one of your meals (subtotal)?

I had something like this happen in the middle of the day, after I logged some food, it suddenly dropped an entire subtotal of my topmost meal. I'm pretty sure it was because of skipped meal. IOW, when early breakfast was logged, everything was great...but when I logged lunch (and skipped late breakfast), it dropped the early breakfast subtotal completely. After trying to get it back all day and then having more problems when I logged dinner....I finally just made sure I logged everything into 4 consecutive meals, with no skipped meals, and it all adds up now.




Also, just to mention, they sync weight too. I couldn't figure out WHY suddenly my Garmin BMR was a tad lower. Then I realized that I'd logged a slight weightloss last week in MFP, but NOT in Garmin. Well, they synced my weight and when they did...my bmr went down just a tad. I'm happy for the weight loss, but not for the lower guaranteed daily cals.

I see what you mean. I noticed that Activities are ignored. In my case it's usually running or walking anyway, and tbh the calories counted by the hrm are sometimes completely off the wall. (Especially when I do two bak to back runs and one might be an hour and the other half as much but Garmin shows MORE calories burned ??.) I was relieved when that mess was ignored, but it really doesn't help folks like you. Maybe they'll have that fixed later in the Summer, when the other sports watches will come online.
