Question about Google Fit & Map fitness

imihran

So map my fitness has a option for google fit to turn on. But i dont understand how often it transfers data to update the calories burned and then shows in to my fitness pal. As in this way.. you walk google fit gets your steps then it communicates the data to map my fitness the the data is transfered to my fitness pal.

Does Google Fit report to Map My Fitness? I thought it was the other way around. Google fit adds your activity but does not report back. I use Endomondo and Google Fit and this is how it works for me.

thanks for the response. so can Endomondo get the data from google fit and transfer the calories burned to My fitness pal? if not than do you know any app that would do it ?

No, it doesn't work that way. Endomondo updates MFP with only the data it collects (when I run or bike). As far as I know, there is no way to get the Google Fit data to MFP.

If you want to track your steps I believe you will have to use another app that does sync with MFP. I personally do not care to enter my steps here since I use this site as more of a guide.
