Hi, just looking for some advice! I have my phone step counter linked to MFP app and over the last few days I have noticed that the calories burned have decreased quite a bit from what they were a few days ago for the same number of steps. Any idea why this might be? Thanks x

    I'm not sure why this is happening but I've noticed it too so you're not alone.
  • Yes I'm having the same problem. I'm walking around all day and burning 100 calories lol. Something is not right. I'm glad to see it's not just my phone.

    Thanks for responding!! I'm glad it's not just me this is happening to. Maybe a bug in the app or something then. Hopefully will right itself after another update!

    I had to open a new account for my phone steps (Pacer) after it started decreasing calories burned, it would also have my step count go backwards :cry: Now on my third account, we'll see how long this one lasts.

    This app has been acting funny for a few days, it's even messed up my lists of recent and frequent am foods. Sonirritating! I'll have a go at a different app for step counts though, thanks!
