How to Enable Negative Calorie Adjustments If you wear your activity tracker consistently and want more accurate feedback from MyFitnessPal, you should enable negative calorie adjustments. If you don't burn the calories that MyFitnessPal expects you to, having this feature on subtracts calories from your total, meaning you would have to eat healthier on days you don't work out. That's why you need to enable negative calorie adjustments. If the negative calorie adjustment feature is disabled (which it is by default), your synced activity tracker can't subtract calories from your total on a lazy day.īut here's the problem: If you only burn 100 extra calories on one of these increased-calorie days, the app won't tell you to consume fewer calories, though you should.
Unfortunately, if you don't work out at all, MyFitnessPal still assumes you're active and burning those extra 200 calories a day it projects. If on a very psychical day your activity tracker says you burned 1,000 calories through activity, MyFitnessPal adds those calories to your daily goal, meaning you have to consume 3,400 calories that day. Now, if you're wearing your activity tracker every single day, it sends information to MyFitnessPal, such as how many calories you burn walking to work, swimming in your pool, or weight lifting. If it expects you to burn an extra 200 calories each day based on activity level, it changes your goal to 2,600 calories.
Depending on the activity level you enter into MyFitnessPal, it gives an estimate as to how many calories you should be burning each day from being active, and adds this to your total. Let's say your daily calorie goal is 2,400, based on your gender and weight. Why Should You Enable Negative Calorie Adjustments Luckily, MyFitnessPal has a feature called "negative calorie adjustments," which works with your activity tracker to provide you with more accurate information about how many calories you should be consuming each day. If you're not burning the calories that MyFitnessPal assumes you are, you end up consuming more calories than you should. However, an activity tracker like a FitBit or Apple Watch can help. The more active you tell the app you are, the more calories it tells you to consume - simple, right? Unfortunately, MFP doesn't tell you to consume fewer calories when you don't work out. MyFitnessPal adjusts your calorie goal for the day according to your activity level.
