MPF exercise calculation not correct?

I walked about 6 miles and rode 4 miles on my bike to burn approx. 500 calories today, per my Samsung phone. I consumed 1,375 calories of my 1,200 calorie goal. Is MPF glitching today, because the math doesn't add up. Per the attached, MFP says I'm over 175 calories. I'm not buying the "Samsung over calculated calories burned" MPF thinks.

Any advice is appreciated, please. Thank you!

    In your first picture it shows exercise cals 0, so the problem is your exercise didn't sync with your food diary. Rather than 0 I would think it should show the 173 from your second picture.

    Right, but look at this picture. MFP does show the large number of steps, but it's still not adjusting my exercise number.

    Contradictory. Hmmm...

    Did you log exercise manually on MFP as well? I'm sorry, I must have a different version of the app and don't see that much detail for my exercise calorie adjustment from my Fitbit. If it normally works correctly and today it's off, there are glitches from time to time so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Hopefully someone who has the same equipment you do will come along and have more insight.

    I only manually logged the bike ride and the steps were synced from my phone. I agree, must be a glitch. Thank you very much!!
