Agreed that the barcode scans often pull up total junk. Often times I'll scan something, check the details and see every micronutrient left blank. At that point I'm still stuck reporting it, correcting it, and making sure to save my own version of it because who knows if those corrections will even be used. Really next to…

Seconded. Sometimes I'll use the snacks category for planned meals and move 'em elsewhere or remove them later, but it'd be nice to have a dedicated spot for those instead. Heck, maybe a "pantry" menu instead, where rather than our most recent meals, we can put things we know we have lined up for later so we can quickly…

For everyone saying it works now, same but I want to temper expectations for anyone thinking this is solved for sure. It's gone back and forth multiple times over the past month for me. Using the past week as an example, I had accurate numbers Sunday, the previous day's steps and stuck negative calories Monday, and the…

Every time I think it's been fixed and I can trust the estimates I get again, then I get another day of yesterday's steps and negative calories to ignore. I'm not entirely sure what the point of premium is when I'm back to throwing my numbers into a spreadsheet to estimate my macros for the day.

Yeah, this is happening for me too, and unpairing then reconnecting did nothing for me. I wouldn't be surprised if this is yet another problem on Fitbit's end. No updates from 'em so far, but I'd suggest keeping an eye on https://status.fitbit.com/summary If it is Fitbit's problem, well I'm just going to go back to manual…

In fairness, Fitbit is also blaming Fitbit for the issue and it's not just MFP showing stuff like this lately. I'm really starting to wonder if we're about to see a few more headstones in the Google Graveyard over the next year with the way Fitbit's been declining lately.

It really depends how long you can sleep before that. 3-4 hours before waking early? You might've woken up at the end of a sleep cycle, which is what people actually aim for when they want a polyphasic sleep pattern. If that happens to me, I'll often lean into it and get up, stop by the bathroom if I need to, grab a glass…

Seems the same on my end. Fitbit's issue tracker still says there may be problems with it, but I'm seeing 75 from Fitbit and 15 from MFP for 268 steps. Even if it breaks again in a few hours, I'd say right now it's back to normal.

Agreed. There's another thread about this issue about two or three down the list, but I might as well share my current stats between Fitbit and MFP one more time to underscore a bit: Fitbit shows 8,381 steps and 1,154 calories. Bear in mind that Fitbit tries to include estimated RMR into the numbers and is known to…

Well that didn't last long. I definitely don't feel like I burned 2,258 calories through an hour of walking at a moderate pace, nor does my watch nor the Fitbit app on my phone. Those are saying 626 right now and that tries to include my estimated RMR and has been found to regularly overestimate the impact of walking and…

I hesitate to call anything "fixed" when the problem is inconsistent to begin with, but it's gone down to a much more reasonable 428 after a few more steps and some good sleep. I have negative adjustments enabled, so that's going to be at least some of it, but I've never seen one high enough from sleep to make that big a…

As someone who's had strong insomnia for most of my life, I've only really found two options that don't carry rebound effects like sleeping pills: physical exhaustion from a busy day (not about to call that sustainable or something to chase,) and melatonin about an hour before lying down. It doesn't always work like I…

Glad I'm not alone on this one. At least if it's a widespread issue it'll see more attention. Up to this point, Fitbit has been giving me higher numbers than MFP. I know it has some wide error bars so I think slashing Fitbit's numbers there is a good thing. It's doing the opposite today. Today I've more or less just been…
