    @amipersin Try connecting with your desktop or laptop Garmin Connect interface rather than the phone app. On the Garmin Connect webpage select 'FOOD' from the pulldown menu. You should be able to link to MyFitnessPal from there. Good luck. Ernie

    Here's the instructions for using the mobile app if you rather give it one more try:

    The Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) application for Android and iOS can be linked to a MyFitnessPal account in order to sync calorie data. To enable syncing with a MyFitnessPal account, the GCM application must first be linked to the mobile version of MyFitnessPal installed on a compatible iOS or Android smartphone.

    To sync data with MyFitnessPal, first ensure that the MyFitnessPal application is installed on your smartphone, then follow the steps below:

    Open Garmin Connect Mobile.
    Open the app menu:
    Android - Touch the menu icon (3 horizontal lines in upper left corner)
    iOS – Touch the ‘More’ icon (bottom right)
    Touch 'Settings"
    Touch '3rd Party Apps'
    Touch 'MyFitnessPal'
    Swipe right to left through the introductory screens.
    Touch 'Get Started'.
    Touch 'Link Accounts'.
    Log in to the MyFitnessPal account you would like to link to.

    The two accounts should now be linked.

    Hi there, should it sync both ways. I can only sync to MFP - no calories used are coming back to the Garmin making look like I'm not using any.

    @ebayjunkie I know this doesn't make sense but have you tried syncing Garmin FROM MFP? Since they changed the mobile interface, calories in/out looks really strange. Sometimes my maximum calorie intake is listed and other times it isn't. At least #steps and workouts are turning up in MFP.

    I am having a smiliar problem - I don't care as much about my food log making it to Garmin Connect but I can't get my step count in Garmin Connect to show as exercise calories in MFP.
