kelynn Joined Mar 2009 Posts: 1,119	Wed 11/04/09 05:07 AM The calories in my food diary are off. I start with 1,450 calories a day and I earned 322 from exercise today (for a total of 1,772). I have 939 calories entered in the diary, and it shows that I have 1,175 calories remaining when it should be 833 (1772-939=833). I've been on MFP since March and never seen it do this before... any thoughts?

Have 1300 to eat normall and I earned 719 from exercise = 2019. MFP is telling me to eat 2738 for the day so it looks to be doubling my exercise calories for some reason. Looks like that's what it's doing to you, too kelynn. mini-goal 1: 250 by Halloween (10/31) MET 10/18/09 mini-goal 2: 240 by Thanksgiving (11/26) MET 11/21/09 mini-goal 3: 225 by New Year's (01/01)

meglide Joined Sep 2009 Posts: 13	Wed 11/04/09 05:23 AM yeah, what it seems to be doing is counting the exercise calories TWICE, so if you did say 500 calories of exercise, it's giving you credit for 1000 as a temporary fix you could half your exercise calories and just put the real numbers in as a note in the exercise section, I'm sure they'll correct the problem quickly, probably by the end of the day

sniffles Joined May 2009 Posts: 43	Wed 11/04/09 05:45 AM Yeah my numbers are off too. I had a goal of 1200 cals for the day and logged 300 cals exercise which should add to 1500 cal goal but it's telling me I should eat 1800. It appears to be doubling exercise calories. Weirdness.
