Calorie adjustment on mfp

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi can anybody explain the calorie adjustment on mfp
I did a intense activity today (running) and when longing on to mfp it had added the steps aswell as exercise calories.
So i ended day with 22500 steps about 10000 from run
And also run calories.
so a normal day plus run and i got 1200 calorie credits
So basically calories from run were doubled in the form of exercise plus extra steps can anybody explain
Thanks lee

mfp has something called Enable Negative Adjustment as per below, but still doubles up what comes from Garmin.

Change Handling of Partner Adjustments
If you have linked your MyFitnessPal account to a device or app that measures your total calorie burn (Fitbit, Bodymedia, etc.), check this box to allow negative calorie adjustments from that partner to appear on your exercise diary. Otherwise, only positive adjustments will be allowed.
Changes to this setting will be in effect only for adjustments received from that point on (past adjustments will not be restated).

A negative adjustment means that your projected calorie burn for the day from the partner is below MyFitnessPal's initial estimate. If you are unable to sync your tracking device until late in the day, or if you don't consistently use your tracking device, you may prefer not to enable negative adjustments.
