Fitbit HR Charge 2 - Sync Question

princess7955

I've recently got the new Fitbit HR Charge 2. I was able to sync it with my MFP account, but have a question. Am I able to only sync my tracked workouts? And not my steps? Or is it "all or nothing"?

The other day my food should have put me over my calorie goal. But after my diary adjusted for my Fitbit steps, I was under. But I didn't do anything special, other than grocery shopping (hence the high step count).

Any suggestions?

You burn more Calories when you move your weight (i.e. by walking or running). That earns Calories; so both steps and intentional exercise count. You can't have one without the other when syncing Fitbit and MFP.

Your total activity as estimated by Fitbit exceeded the estimated MFP Calorie goal based on your chosen MFP Activity Level (Sedentary, Lightly Active, Active, or Very Active). Since the Fitbit estimate exceeded the MFP estimate, the MFP goal was adjusted to add a positive Fitbit Calorie Adjustment.

I sometimes get hundreds of Calories just from steps in my daily Fitbit Calorie Adjustment, and I am set at MFP Active. I ate back 90% of my adjustment when I was losing and I eat back 100% now while maintaining.

I would recommend reading through the first three posts in this thread on the MFP Fitbit Users group...
