MFP calorie adjustment is really starting to piss me off!!

Go to My Home, Settings, diary settings and uncheck "enable negative calorie adjustment"

Perhaps go back and check your settings again

I also would like to get rid of this feature, and do not have the option in my settings either. I worked in the garden for 5 hours today, and I know I burned calories (I've got the sweat to prove it!), but I agree, Michael190lbs- I was way OVER what I should have consumed today, but because of this negative adjustment, I am totally in the green with only 190 net calories! I could basically start over and eat another 1300 calories! I'd be gaining weight big time.

not seeing that option` cute kid congrats!!

You're the only one who can't see it then. Don't act sh1tty to people trying to help you.

It's not in the web-browser settings or iOS version. Maybe on Android.

But this won't solve the problem, since the OP's device is giving higher daily calorie burns, not lower.

Instead, this is the solution, I think:

Disable your activity tracker from syncing with MFP. Go to the app, and hit the disconnect button.

If you feel the numbers your device is giving you is messing up your MFP numbers, then just disconnect. Boom! Problem solved.

OP the settings they are telling to use are only available on the website, there is no way to do it from the Iphone short of completely disconnecting the device

Scroll a bit further, right below meal names it says Calorie Adjustments: Dis/Enable Negative Adjustments

However, turning that off won't solve the issue.

"We are working on tightening some things up on the back end surrounding our Steps feature within the MyFitnessPal program over the next 24-48 hours. This relates to both integration partners that send steps to MyFitnessPal, and feature that tracks steps directly from the M7/M8 chip within the iPhone. Some users may experience issues (like duplicated or increased step counts), while others may not see any impact."

Only work around would be to disable the steps from counting by disconnecting you phone and log them as an exercise yourself

I wonder if it's only given to people who use a device like Fitbit or Jawbone. The option should have been right under meal names.
Are you just using your iPhone for the steps?

Mine from iphone 6 plus hase ben acting crazy. There was a thread on it and a support notice so it was a known issue that last heard was yet to be resolved. yesterday mine added like an xtra 1000 and claimed I had 28,000 steps but I had 14,000. I just ignored it and only focused on my garmin calories from my HRM running watch and an hour run. So it isn't just happening to you ( which means it is unlikely you can fix it) and it didn't seem to have a fix yet. One short hand would be average calories for 10k steps is 500 ( or so I have read) so you could limit your eating back to 500 per 10k until they sort it out.
For me I am just eating my running calories and the steps I am ignoring since they have been nuts for days.

As of last week the negative calorie feature was only on a computer browser ( not tablet browser and not the app). That isn't to say they haven't changed it with the roll out of premium.

I think it's a premium only feature. To turn off the calories burned by exercise, but keep the exercise logged

Your tracker burn is TDEE. Your default MFP calorie goal is activity level minus deficit. Adjustments are the difference between your tracker burn and your MFP activity level. If (and only if) you enable negative calorie adjustments in your diary settings, eating back your adjustments means you're eating TDEE minus deficit.

Click on the adjustment to see the math MFP used to calculate it. To turn off adjustments, disconnect your tracker or pay for MFP Premium.

I'm having the same issue - started last week just adding calories - kind of kills the whole point of the app - wrote cust service but no joy - very annoying

I know this is a very old post. But for the sake of others who may be looking for this information, I wanted to clarify something: "Calorie Adjustment" and "Increasing Exercise Calories" are two different things, I think people are getting them confused.

"Calorie adjustment" is an attribute of connected apps (i.e.: syncing MapMyRun with MFP to allow MFP to list those calories in your diary). It's really complicated, but they try to explain it here: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1084232-what-is-the-calorie-adjustment-in-my-exercise-diary- I don't like this feature for a few reasons and wish I knew a way to turn it of and just track the calories burned without adjusting them. (if anyone knows, pls let me know) Even more complicated is the option Negative Calorie Adjustment.

"Increase exercise calories" is a setting you can find (on my current version on iPhone, Premium membership) in More>Goals>Exercise Calories (at the very bottom). Here you can choose to have your daily total allotment of calories increase with your exercise calories or not. I agree with SimoneBee12 that it either didn't exist before or when I upgraded to premium, it was part of that package.
