Phantom exercise reported to MFP

[lizziej]

For the past few mornings I've woken up and MyFitnessPal reports I have already burned calories, courtesy of Microsoft Health calorie adjustment. This has ranged from <50 to 500. Gradually over the course of the day the count goes down and is 0 by the end of the day (or the correct amount for workouts).

I never experienced this until just a few days ago. Anyone else? Is there a fix?

It appears to be an intermittent bug. It was happening to some people back in Dec and early Jan. Seems to be happening again early Feb. Cruise myfitnesspal's forums and you will see some people having the same issues.

Ah, okay, thanks. I'll do that.

If you find any useful info please report back. My gf started having the same issue too

It has been frustrating... MFP has struggled with a consistent method of handling MS Health data from the beginning. I've had multiple discussions with their support and it is always Microsoft fault. All I can say is that we are not alone in syncing frustration with MFP. If you read any of their forums you will find that many of the activity devices are not syncing correctly. It just depends which one fails each week. I've gotten to the point of just deleting whatever MFP records and manually entering the info based on downloading from band monitor.

Sure wish MSFT would get going releasing an updated health app that also allows tracking of calories. The current one leaves much to be desired.

I wonder if it's just going to get worse since Under Armour bought them
