I just posted in the general weight loss section I'm having the same issue-keeps giving me extra calories then taking them away even though I've been active. I went to bed last night with a surplus of over 300 calories and woke up in the red.

That being said my tdee for Fitbit is way higher then what it's syncing to MFP. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Anyone know when this will be fixed? I just got my Fitbit this week so it's all new to me.

It must be really frustrating to be a new Fitbit user and have a MFP/Fitbit interface problem interfere with learning how to use the two things together. Hang in there, it'll be fixed.

I've been on MFP for almost 3 years and have had a Fitbit for a little over 2 years. In that time, I've been affected by such problems just a few times and have seen problems crop up that affected others but not me quite a few more times (such as now - I haven't had any problems so far). Who is affected and who isn't generally seems pretty random. For me, it has worked the vast majority of the time - allowing me to become quite dependent on the whole setup.

Anyway, they'll probably sort it out within a few days and there's not much to be done about it in the meantime. Those affected just have to wait and find workarounds.

All you have to do is take your daily burn on Fitbit so far and subtract your desired deficit - that gives a figure of eating level at that point.

And for those devices with a calorie burn on the display - even easier - no website usage - just look and subtract from device read stat.

@cbkm2k12 - I doubt that would be it - why take a step count that has no calorie value associated to them and then attempt to guess how active those steps might have been (shuffling in grocery store or running) to assign a calorie value?
Why do that when Fitbit already does that live and sends out a daily burn figure to whoever they are synced with.

Is it normal to have multiple adjustments at the end of the day? I have three for yesterday, and have only had one adjustment prior.

It looks like yesterday was fixed somehow. I also had three adjustments that appeared at the end of the day. I knew which was correct by looking at my Fitbit burn for the day and deleted the others, and my goal + adjustment for yesterday is now right. Hopefully, that continues today.

Mine is still buggy. Up and down. Up and down...

I know I can just eat what my fitbit tells me, but I don't like it when the MFP app tells me in red numbers that I've eaten too much.

I've just been told that I can eat only 972 calories today due to a negative Fitbit adjustment. Earlier, I was given over 1200. What gives?

I have been using a Fitbit for almost two years and synching it with MFP all that time. There have been minor hiccups in the past, but the past few days have been totally messed up. I have resorted to disconnecting my Fitbit from MFP and entering exercise manually on the MFP side of things. (It's more work, but it's less frustrating than obsessing about the synch!) Here's hoping they get this fixed soon.

I emailed support about it.

The MFP burn for me has been bouncing around between 1900 and 2500 at every sync, when it should be a static 1770; it's as if a bored someone is amusing themselves by changing my activity level settings in MFP over and over, all day long.

My calorie adjustments are therefore totally wrong - much lower than they should be.

This is the 2nd day I've been experiencing this problem. Getting double credit for adjustments has been happening for a good bit longer. (I've just been deleting the duplicates)

Where do you go to delete duplicates? I've had to delete food duplicates on occasion, but not burns. Is it just for exercise, or does it show a duplicate of the entire adjustment?

Click on the 'Add Exercise' tab from your home page. (Right next to the 'Add Food' tab.) It will show your exercise burns that were transferred from your fitbit. Duplicate entries can be deleted the same way you delete food items.

Thanks for that. I kept looking on fitbit for a fix and couldn't find it.

I got double adds yesterday.

I was about to post here that mine was behaving today, and then it did this:

These were snapped literally five minutes apart.
