yup, that's what i'd do. take however many calories your polar says you've burned at the end of the day, subtract MFP's estimate, and add that number as a calorie adjustment. that's basically what they'll do anyway once they get the automatic calorie adjustment sorted out...

you should add the difference between your tracker's calculated TDEE and MFP's calculated TDEE to your goal calorie intake. this is what i love about my fitbit, it does it for me. fitbit figures out how many calories i've actually burned based on my movement (and HR since i have the charge HR), and then adjusts MFP…

i had the flex, and got the charge HR when it came out (more so when i could find it, it took a few weeks and a ton of stalking a bunch of different stores to finally find one in stock)...love both of them. gave the flex to my wife when i upgraded to the charge HR...the heart rate monitor is surprisingly accurate, i…
