Myfitnesspal exercise calories accurate5/18/2023 It seems obvious to me! MFP doubles counts calories expended by failing to account for TIME. I had it on lightly active as I didn't realize I would be classified as active. ![]() ![]() I'll try setting my activity to active and turning on negative calories. this has all got to do with accounting and with the fact that MFP expects you to burn the same amount of calories per minute of the day, whereas fitbit's calories vary based on your activity.). (note that with negative adjustments enabled you will start your day with a negative adjustment and you will also lose "exercise" calories in the evening if you become less active before midnight. Having said that, you would also probably want to enable negative adjustments which would reduce your calories available on days where you might not move around as much. IF you were to do this, it might help you budget your food better throughout the day. ![]() IF you were to setup MFP as very active and perform 12K to 15K steps at the end of the day you would have a very small (if any) adjustment. They are incorrectly calling it an "exercise" adjustment for lack of better term.Īll that is happening is that MFP's guess as to how much you will burn gets replaced by Fitbit's guess as to how much you did burn.ġ2K to 15K steps a day is (broadly speaking) the MFP very active activity level. At 12 to 15k you are walking (in broad terms) at the approximate very active setting of Fitness Pal.įitbit and MFP are performing a TDEE adjustment.
