MFP & fitbit

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone can answer a question - I have a fitbit which I keep track of my workouts & MFP. They say they are synced but my Fitbit exercise doesn't go over to MFP - but when I go onto the computer and manually enter my exercise and calories burned into MFP it goes to my fitbit account. I thought it was suppose to go automatically from fitbit to MFP - any thoughts?

    When you sync the Fitbit, you only get a single Calorie adjustment from all Fitbit recorded activities that updates with MFP throughout the day. That is normal. Let the Fitbit record Calories from step-based activities and provide the adjustment. The adjustment will only turn positive after the sync estimates that you have earned Calories above your MFP Activity Level at that sync-point of the day. If you have your MFP Activity Level set too high, you might not see a positive adjustment. You can enable negative adjustments in that case.
