Exercise not auto adding?

I have my MFP hooked up with my phone that it auto adds my steps and calories burned and all that but it hasn't been working for weeks now. I checked and it still checked that it should be adding them. Any ideas?

    try un syncing it and re-syncing it?

    sometimes I have a delay between my fitbit and mfp, or between mfp on my phone and mfp on the laptop but eventually they catch up with each other.

    Yeah there is a lag but mine hasn't added anything in over a month.
  • My Garmin app and MFP sync no problem. I also use BeachBody on demand. I have that linked to Apple Health and I have Apple Health linked to MFP, but the syncing doesn’t work. I’ll try unsyncing and re-syncing, see if that fixes the issue. Thanks for the question.

    Yeah, the last couple of days my Fitbit has been lagging pretty badly syncing with MFP. All day it's said I've had 210 steps when I actually have over 15000...really annoying.
    I think the unsync/resync is likely the best option here though.

    Its all good, I fixed it. I had my phone replaced so I guess it was working because of that even though it says it was connected. No idea, but it's back to working now.
