Aha! Just found the answer - turns out the time zone setting was off by almost 12 hours (no idea why; I didn't even recall that there was a time zone setting), so when I synced before bedtime it was treating a whole day on Fitbit as if those were the calories burned by 9 am and then was projecting outward. Problem now…

Thanks all; that should get me started!

One of the things I like about MFP is that it moves me beyond "I was good today/I was bad today" and gives me the tools to actually analyze my habits and patterns. Recently I took a look at my net calories over the last 90 days, and found it instructive. Of those 90 days, 21 were days I did not make my net calorie goals,…

I know what you mean. When I joined 7 months ago, my allotted calories seemed sky-high too -- something like 2240 calories (I'm 52, 5'11", 245 lbs. and shooting to lose half a pound a week). My wife openly scoffed, and I was certainly doubtful. But you know what? I used it as a target anyway, was pretty good about staying…

Good advice all, thanks.

Okay, so here's a related issue -- seemed silly to start a new thread: It's 10 pm. I'm done eating, done drinking, and done moving; I'm in bed and about to turn out the lights. MFP says I can still eat 809 calories, 520 of which are "earned" calories from Fitbit. That number has been static for a while. Fitbit, meanwhile,…

AHA! Never noticed that option (obviously). Thank you, Virgoddess! Let's see what that does. Of course, there's still the weird inequities in how each program projects calories; right now, for example, I'm about halfway to my 10,000 steps; MFP and Fitbit are both allowing me "extra" calories, but MFP says my daily calorie…

That makes sense. If anything, I've low-balled myself on MFP, listing myself as sedentary with no activity (which was true that Sunday, but somewhat less true in general), and it still gave me that calorie allowance. So it's not so much me needing to be accurate as it seems to be MFP being too generous with their allowance…

Oops! Meant to say I ingested more calories on the 30th, stayed active longer and later on the 2nd.

Interesting answers, all! Per your responses, some further data: First, I actually ingested more calories on the 30th, and stayed active longer and later that day, so those factors don't seem to apply (except in one possible way I'll mention below). However, it does look like, while I had no very intense periods on either…
