Thank you so much! I appreciate your response, I may just stick with lightly active:)

Thank you so much for your response, But I do understand that, I have it all synced up with my Apple Watch tracking steps and sending all my workouts that I log on my watch to MFP, My question was should I set my activity on MFP to not active or lightly active with all the info that I do on a daily basis from first post,…

Wow thank you for all your replies, 33 views and nada 👍

Does anyone have insight?

Yeah I am not sure what to do! It’s so frustrating. I know that my watch is not getting all the information to the health app which in return is not getting the accuracy to MyFitnessPal. It’s off by half. So my watch says I walked 16,000 steps but my health app and MyFitnessPal says 8000

It’s so wierd I have it on Apple Watch to track my steps but it is saying it’s using my phone , here are the screenshots

Yep! Same thing is happening with me, every time I hit the MyFitnessPal app the health app comes up and says I need to set up permissions which I already have, Ugh!!

Yes it is super frustrating, I only received 50 extra calories yesterday for 15,000 steps so I think I will do Tdee and forget about trying to correct this

Thank you so much! That definitely helped to disable negative adjustment, So would you recommend eating back my positive exercise calories now? I know when I had fitbit the census was to eat back no more than 75% of added calorie allowance is that the same with Apple Watch?

Yes that is what is so crazy! They are not all accurate, My Apple Watch said I logged 16,000 steps at end of day yesterday and my health app and MyFitnessPal said I only did 8000. So that is half of what I actually did

Thank you! I just disabled “ negative adjustment “ last night, Hopefully that helps. I am still super confused at the step discrepancies. At the end of the evening last night my watch said I totaled 16,000 steps and my health app and MyFitnessPal only said I did 8000 that is half of what I actually did. I am set to…

No I am not logging exercise manually on MyFitnessPal, I log in my workout app on my Apple Watch and it syncs to MyFitnessPal

Because my fitbit broke 2 times in one year and I really wanted an Apple Watch so I decided to switch

So you would disable negative adjustment?

Yep this is mine

Well pardon me, You certainly didn’t have too read it again. Don’t know the rules, Shame on me

Look at the discrepancy

Hello anybody!!!

Yes MyFitnessPal gives me the extra 180 from the Apple Watch, I have added screenshots of the difference in adjustments per Fitbit and Apple to MyFitness Pal, And I am sure you can see my confusion

What do you mean you only count workout calories? Yesterday my resting calories were 1629 and my active calories were 800. MyFitnessPal gives me a goal of 1500 and it only gave me 200 extra exercise calories to MyFitnessPal and I walked 15,000 steps yesterday. I am new too Apple Watch it’s the second day and Fitbit gave me…

So if I set my activity to lightly active and I always have positive exercise calories and only in the negative when I get up, Is that correct? Because I would figure if i was set to the wrong activity setting then I would be at a constant negative adjustment, Am I wrong ?

@heybales So what are you suggesting, Would it make sense to leave on sedentary? I do go to bed around 8 or 9 because I wake up at 4:45 am to go to gym in the morning which I do weights and cardio and some days I do cardio after work as well. I am not sure if it really even matters which setting I put it too because I have…

Yes I was thinking of doing that as well:)

Ok thank you

Ok perfect! Thank you
