What's wrong with these MFP figures ?

First thing this morning I checked MFP, At this stage nothing had passed my lips, nothing! Anyway I looked at the MFP app and it showed calories 1500, Food 0, Exercise 62 and this is the bit that gets me REMAINING 1438 and I hadn't eaten anything! Even Fitbit was shown I'd burned 584 calories. What's going on with these figures? I also checked the figures online and they were the same.

    Your Fitbit starts tracking your daily calorie burn for the day from midnight, because you burn calories all the time, even when you're sleeping. As for the 62 exercise calories on MFP, are you sure there wasn't a minus sign in front of that? That would make sense with the remaining calories thing (negative adjustments, you hadn't reached enough steps yet to 'qualify' for your 1500 cals, so MFP took some calories away from you).

    Check the 62 against exercise - presumably it's a negative adjustment.

    Ah yes it was minus 62. Getting to grips with this thing slowly but surely !
