This is a good suggestion, thank you! The fitbit basically does what you do manually for me automatically (logs steps and provides calorie burn through body composition/age calculations) It provides an adjustment to MFP if I go over the calories burned MFP sets up automatically for me. The problem lies in the fact that…

I've been very happy with Polar brand for the past year or so. Intuitive and very easy to set up, and asks all the right questions. And they won't break the bank either which is always nice. If you don't mind the chest strap it's the way to go, imo. :smile:

That does work to a point, but only if I manually enter every day, and as the day progresses so do the numbers, which would mean I would be having to manually change my calorie needs every time my fitbit syncs with my MFP. It's currently what I'm doing but kinda a pain in the butt, was hoping for an auto-correct function…

/24 hour bump, still need help! Even a "MFP can't do that" would be fine. :)

Definitely have had cheat days, but I try to make them work within my goals for the day/week. There are some really good protein bars (Quest bars are ftw) that have seemed to really help me fend off a lot of those sugar craving days that used to get me into trouble.
