    Ok then someone explain how when it was -200 the other day, I tested it by adding exercise burn of 200. You'd thing the negative would go away right? Nope. Was even lower.

    The only thing I can think of is that your activity level is off. If you have it set to "active" on MFP, you won't get additional calories until you reach 10,000 steps. However, if you have it set to "sedentary," then you will get a step adjustment for more calories using your fitbit.

    I have my account set for sedentary. I don't track my workouts separately from my steps (with the exception of bike rides). So, yesterday, I did a 4 mile run, which added to my 18,541 steps for the day. I was given an extra 984 exercise calories yesterday. On a less active day, I didn't run, but still got 10,124 steps. On that day, I was given an extra 447 exercise calories.

    If my account was set to active, I would have had more calories to start the day, but I wouldn't have gotten as much (if anything) for those days.

    No offense, but I do not consider 8000 steps an "active" lifestyle. FB recommends 10k, at least. I hit 10k (when I still wore an FB) just walking my dogs on a daily basis. I do other stuff, too (yoga, some jogging, cycling, and I ballroom dance 4-5 nights a week), but I still consider myself sedentary. Now, if I was using MFP back in the day when I walked, on average, 4 miles a day for work, plus lots of heavy lifting, and a lot of other very physically demanding stuff, I would consider myself active, but, then again, I didn't need MFP back then since I was a skinny little b**ch!!!!

    I would change your setting to sedentary and see if that solves your problem.

    7500 steps is active on MFP.

    OP, have you tried unsyncing and then resyncing your Misfit? There seems to be an issue with MFP and Misfit "talking" to each other.

    If that doesn't fix it, contact support.
