    Ugh. No. I wish it were doing something! Mines still not doing much. it actually put in a negative calorie adjustment (just as if I had stayed in bed all day).

    Interesting! Mine did that on Friday before going on Strike at 8:30pm Mountain on Saturday.

    Friday on 16k i got about 1000 extra Cal. In my case i attributed it to time change and travel.. now I wonder!

    Does anyone know what the tipping points for calorie adjustments from Fitbit are? I just recently switched from eating an average amount of calories per day to using the figure suggested by MFP plus exercise.

    Yesterday my diary said FitBit Calorie adjustment for 7k steps - 300 cals. Today my diary said UA Record Calorie Adjustment (which I've never seen before...it's always been FitBit) for 10k steps - 600 cals.

    So yeah, my burn seems a little high. But yours sounds way off.

    I start getting positive adjustments at around 2500 steps, set at sedentary. It's around 5000ish steps if set at lightly active.

    Update- mfp and fitbit are up and running now for me.

    I'm also syncing fine again.

    I'm set to "active" and usually start getting positive adjustments around 8,000 steps. It'll be a bit different for everyone though; I work on a hilly university campus.
