Negative Adjustment problem

This is a new one for me... Any ideas on how it's calculating a negative adjustment from the numbers shown?

Based on my daily non-exercise step average above 4K, I adjusted to lightly active from sedentary -- largely because from my Watch, I was having to bring over so many (100+) calories to get MFP to reflect what the Watch said I was burning, and frankly, I trust the Watch more.

I enabled negative adjustments to keep it more precise, but this is what it did instead. I am *so* confused.

    Possibly because the first figure is projected for the whole day, whereas the mfp figure is that burnt by this point in time time. So it perhaps calculates how much you will be behind by the end of the day, and adjusts to that? (I.e. it presumes you will carry on taking in calories till the end of the day, which would have a bigger difference than you get with these figures).

    Actually the second number is MFP's projected maintenance calories for the day, not to that point.
