    Hi.. I've got the fitbit versa 2.. I paired it with my phone, connected the fitbit app to MFP.. Every time I go out for a walk, I press the + sign next to the exercise section on the fitbit app.. This allows you to track your walk, providing you have your location settings on.. After the walk, I press 'Finish' on the fitbit app.. It then tells me my steps, distance and calories burned..
    Back onto MFP and I manually put in the exercise section, the time I started walking, duration and calories burned.. The fitbit app will then adjust it accordingly throughout the day if you burn any extra through 'zone minutes'
    Hope this helps 🙏

    If you've connected your Fitbit to MFP, you d not have to log any exercise into MFP -- your activity adjustment will automatically make calorie adjustments when necessary.

    Also, your adjustments aren't just based on "zone minutes," it's based on your overall activity.

    I'm starting to wonder exactly what I'm paying myfitnesspal for. I'm linked up correctly but my steps/calories aren't showing in realtime. It takes at least a day IF they post at all. That's not helping me plan my food intake. Myfitnesspal says it's their system. Again, what exactly am I paying for? They certainly take my payment in realtime.

    Hmm... I'll follow this thread as I'm not sure if my Fitbit is connected or not. I have the Versa2 watch, and think I've linked to MFP. But can't see on my profile where this shows my steps yet. Suggestions? A screen dump would be great. I've had the fitbit charge before and never had to manually put in a walk, it would happen automatically, same with a bike ride. Hoping the Versa will do the same, or I'll be very disappointed.

    You will not see exercise activities sync between Fitbit and MFP, you'll just see a calorie adjustment on MFP for your overall activity.
