Fitbit food logging

I was having sync problems- MFP wasn't reflecting calories burned logged by Fitbit, even with a force sync. Even if it had finally worked late last night (which it seems to update late in the PM), I don't like waiting until I'm in bed and done eating for the night to check to see if I'm on track.

So long story short-

I unlinked my Fitbit from MFP to give their database a try. I like it so far, there isn't as many "bad" user entries to sift through to find the right nutrient information. Has anyone actually tried theirs, or is everyone just so used to MFP that they won't?

Not trolling, not flaming- none of that nonsense... Just sharing my experience in case someone else is having the same issue and isn't afraid of change.

    If the fitbit food database was better I would use that. But I'm in the UK - their database isn't good for us Brits. So I log food here, I log activity on fitbit. It's been working so far!

    If you are going to use Fitbit and MFP, MFP recommends that you use the MFP database only anyway.
