Yes, MFP is set to sedentary.

>TDEE (look on your FitBit profile page, it gives it for the last 30 days) and use that as your baseline. Subtract off the proper offset for the rate of weight loss you're aiming for and that is your calorie limit. https://www.fitbit.com/user/24TB33 Would TDEE then be the "average burn" which is 3040 for the last 30 days?…

So the first issue was that I was using an older BMR rate - I didn't recalculate it after losing weight. Ooops. I also didn't realize MFP was using a different equation than my doctor was using. Now that I've corrected those number in my head, the numbers on MFP are making A LOT more sense. Though I'm still not happy…

No. I've had it for about a year. I just turned on negative calorie adjustments a few days ago though. So up until yesterday I was only getting the positive adjustments, which I thought meant "You've burnt X calories today beyond the -700 taken off your BMR." I lost 70lbs without negative calorie adjustments, so I guess…

And if those numbers change every five minutes, going lower and lower then I can't use those numbers to plan ahead. Instead of "You've burned X calories and can eat Y calories" it's now "You might burn X calories, so you might be able to eat Y calories, but you can't be sure because X calories is actually going to go down,…

But, back to the original technical issues I'm having. Now that I've turned on the "negative calorie adjustment" function, I'm seemingly gaining calories out of no where. That is, I woke up this morning at a 207 calorie deficit, meaning I could only eat somewhere around 1300 calories if I wanted to maintain my current…

7 months and no binge eating. Intermittent fasting works for some of us, and that's what I do. Your body can do just fine as long as your macros are being followed. I get plenty of protein to stave off muscle loss. Underfed is not simply about calories, but also not ensuring you have enough macro and micro nutrients. All…

I've found that most days I don't need more than 1500-1600 calories even after I've burnt off a lot more. Once I hit that 1500 mark I'm rarely hungry. I tend to only eat back adjustments when I've been really active, or go out with friends - social eating is my downfall.

Thanks for your replies Nancy. MFP was already set to sedentary. So, I suspect it was the two databases trying to reconcile their information and one taking precedence over the other. Hopefully I won't run into this issue again. I've been damn good at logging calories and exercise and only eat back the calories I've burnt…

Yes, I did only eat one meal that day (aside from some juice I had in the afternoon, which was logged as I was drinking it). Yes, it was at 10pm. I think the problem may have been with Fitbit, it was set to Personalized and not Sedentary. That's been fixed.
