Fitbit is not tracking calories onto MFP

I have a fitbit flex, and it used to log the calories automatically onto MFP. I stopped using it for a while, then when I started using fitbit again, it stopped logging calories onto MFP. I have tried unconnecting and reconnecting again but no success. What do I do?

    Did you disconnect Fitbit from MFP, revoke MFP access from Fitbit, wait a while (so both systems have time to process the changes) and then reconnect?

    MFP sends water & aggregate food data to Fitbit, and you should see a Fitbit calorie adjustment under exercise in MFP.

    Fitbit does not send food or individual exercise to MFP.

    What do you mean it would log your calories automatically? Are you saying that you don't need to log your food anymore? I just got my charge and I am still really confused how to use it.

    Log food, drink & water in MFP.

    No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you.

    Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit (that's what I do) or in MFP—never both.

    Fitbit exercise does not appear in your MFP newsfeed. If you want your friends to see it, post a status update.
