I was having trouble getting my HR synced to myfitnesspal but have now successfully done so.
I would like to be able to sync the last 3 weeks that I missed to myfitnesspal.
Does anybody know if this is possible and if so how to do it?

    Not sure how you synced your HR to MFP since there is no such value on MFP to display/sync in.

    But no you can't sync historical data for MFP to attempt to do math with, or just to record and display.

    What do you mean there is no such value? Now that I have it synced it transfers my calculated calories burned right int MFP.

    You said you synced your HR to MFP.
    Hence the confusion since that doesn't occur.

    Yes, the calories burned in a day is sync over.

    And the vast majority of those calories are estimated from steps and the resulting distance, not HR.
    If it's working right, only time HR should be used for calories is workouts.

    Mine used to sync, too. Last night, while ending my diary, I noticed it didn't do it, either. I am just getting started back on MFP (day 3), so I figured it was just me.

    I don't use those "calories burned" to eat extra or anything, I just always thought it was a cool feature. I'm still looking into it. If I get it figured out, I will absolutely share the info.
