Okay, I wear my fitbit but have a question. It never reads the same calories burned as MFP. I have not been logging my activity lately and just letting FB do the adjustment but it is VERY far off. Today my Fitbit says I burned 1,890 so far this morning but when I plug it in, MFP says I have only burned 112 calories. Why are they so far off? Which is right?

Bump.
Sorry for that, but I am considering buying one and I am interested in the replies you may get to this.0 -
Overall I really love it. It pushes me to walk those few extra steps every day. I like to meet my daily goal in steps so it really is pushing me, I just cannot figure out why the readings are so far off! Or which one to trust. I recommend getting one though!0

MFP already assumes you will burn a certain number of calories in a day. The fitbit adjustment (in this case 112 calories) are the calories you earned over and above that amount.0

Yup, this. I now use the fitbit to guage my activity levels and estimated calories burned, but manually input those activities into MFP.0 -
Ahhh makes sense. Thanks!0
