Is anyone having an issue today with Fitbit? My Fitbit Calorie adjustment is -3,392.

ME!! Mine is just over -2000!!! Not cool. I have emailed MFP, but they claim to have a high amount of emails and may not get back to me for a few days. DAYS. It also added my ONE exercise entry NINE times. NINE. *sigh*0

Earlier it said about -165 (accurate, as I've done nothing) but now it's gone0

Fitbit added an MFP exercise entry 9 times?
That sound like issue going other direction, Fitbit should have been able to see that the sync was for something it already had.
So is the Fitbit daily burn correct, or inflated?
If inflated, that would exactly explain why the adjustment is so far off.0 -
I totally ignore my MFP adjustment. I only use the fitbit adjustment, which is considerably less...
but it didn't add the adjustment more than once that I can see.0 -

MFP added multiplied my exercise entry. I log my jog in MFP. usually the adjustment adjusts after I enter my workouts. But today it added 8 more entries after I logged my one entry.

Here's what yesterday's log looked like. I log my workouts the same every day. Obviously today there is something wrong.

I'm having the same problem. MFP is saying I have 12,752 in my Fitbit adjustment. haha I wish!0

If you're logging exercise in MFP, then see if it is showing up multiple times in Fitbit. I've never had that happen, because I don't log exercise in MFP, but I have had that happen with meals. I just delete the extra meal from Fitbit and everything is fine.0

Well, multiple entries sure explains why the Fitbit TDEE would be higher, but since logged on MFP the adjustment doesn't have to reflect that.
In this case, Fitbit knew it was the same entry and did not increase the TDEE.
This is all due to MFP math because of the multiple entries.
Nothing is wrong on Fitbit side likely.
Current eating goal = base eating goal with deficit + exercise + adjustment
In the case you show:
Current eating goal = base eating goal + 2502 + -2135
Current eating goal = base eating goal + 367
Actually - where is the issue with your eating goal exactly?
That is actually correct.
You got credit on Fitbit for the exercise of 278, and you were more active than sedentary by (367-278 = ) 89 calories.
And MFP is showing that fact.
You have no actual issue with your eating goal. MFP's math cancels out their extra entries since Fitbit only got 1.0 -

Actually - @redheadhen had negative adjustment - and it's corrected and balanced out the multiple entries.
Is your actually a positive 12K adjustment?
And have you looked on Fitbit to see if their TDEE is indeed that huge, and why?0 -
Here's what it looks like today.
It just starting doing this yesterday, and I haven't done anything different with Fitbit or MFP. I did charge it recently, but it's never done anything like this after charging before.0 -
That's pretty bizzare - unless you've been really, really, really active. What is the math on your exercise adjustment?
For instance, here's mine for today so far:
And here is my Fitbit Summary Tile from the same time:
Looked at together, they pretty much agree (particularly the calories burned number corresponds) and are reasonable numbers. So, I guess the question is whether Fitbit agrees that you've burned an absurd number of calories, or if it is just showing in MFP.0 -
Well, I logged a workout today on my Fitbit, so now the adjustment on MFP is correct. Yesterday, I didn't workout and was not super active. I've definitely had days where I haven't worked out before without the adjustment messing up. I'll have to see what it does tomorrow since I think it will be a rest day.0

If the lack of a workout is doing it, then log something, even if you just enter something for 1 minute and 1 calorie and see if that fixes it. However, there's still something wrong. I never log workouts and haven't seen that kind of bizarre calorie adjustment. I'd want to track down where it is coming from.0

I haven't had my Fitbit long, but I've definitely had rest days since using it and haven't had any huge adjustments like this, so I'm definitely curious as to why it's happening!

You need to look on the Fitbit side of the equation - you are only viewing one side.
And one side isn't enough info to discern anything useful - except something isn't right - which you already knew.
What did Fitbit report as calorie burn on the huge adjustment day?
And looking at your web account and daily 5 min block graph - when was there a huge amount of exercise done for both steps and calorie burn?
Does that match with an actual increase in daily activity?
Like if you hiked and bagged 5 14's during the whole day - then it would be very correct.
If you sat at your desk job tapping your pencil most the day - something's amiss.0 -
Sorry to bring up an old thread but this is happening to me now.
Yesterday fitbit says 2603 but my adjustments says 1980 as 660 has been added 3 times on mfp.
Do I just delete 2 entries or is there an issue somewhere?0 -
You didn't need to dig up such an old thread. This is a new issue and there are active threads discussing it.
Delete the extra entries, yes.
I haven't been affected by the issue, but I believe you need to make sure that MFP is using Fitbit for its step source. To check this: In the MFP app go to Steps (accessing this, is different on iPhone and Android I think, on Android it's on the menu). On the website, go to Apps->Steps.0
