How should my Fitbit sync my Workouts

I could swear my Fit-bit used to sync my workouts to MFP, but I recently started going back to the gym and do not see anything syncing except my Steps.

I start and stop my workout on my Fit-bit Charge HR by holding the button in to start and stop the timer. It si showing up in Fit-bit. All I get in MFP lately is my Calories burnt from Fit-bit steps, where I could swear it used to sync in the workout and show what I did.

Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or if something changed? Should I track it differently now?

    As long as I've had fitbit, all that gets synced over is step total and total calorie burn for the day. Never workouts.

    Yes, capaul is correct. It only syncs the whole day. I did it for a while but then realized it was very inaccurate (by like double), so I don't bother any more.

    Mine's been very accurate for me. One of the lucky ones I guess.

    Yep, it's never synced the workout over. MFP sees the amount of calories you've burned via Fitbit, but it can't distinguish exercise calories, normal daily activity, or BMR from them.
