I have tried everything and since I cannot sync Fitbit with MFP, is there a way to manually add steps?

    You can't manually add steps but you could do one of two things.
    • evaluate your average step count and set your activity level in your profile accordingly for example if it's between 5-7500 set yourself as Lightly Active, 7500-10000 set yourself as Active, Over 10000 set yourself to Very Active and see how your weight responds over a period of 4-6 weeks and then adjust your calorie allowance as needed to get the results you're looking for.
    • if you have a smartphone use a different app to track steps - such as Apple Healthkit or Googlefit.

    Since there is no way to know how experienced you are with Fitbit and MFP, and only 2 posts - I'm going to ask.

    What is "everything" you have tried?

    Did you confirm the MFP app settings for Step Source says Fitbit?
    And that was after going through setup to sync accounts?
    Is meal totals showing up on Fitbit?
