Is ist possible to connect the Garmin App for calorie adjustments in MFP?

Superfetzen

Before I was using Fitbit and the calorie adjustments were made via the Fitbit App. Looked like the picture here:

Now that I am using the Garmin App, I want to use Garmin to provide the data for MFP do adjust the calories.
MFP shows, that instead of the Garmin App, my phone (iPhone) is being used for that. See picture:
How can I change that to the Garmin App? I have already connected both apps and the step data is being synced as expected, but not calorie adjustment unfortunately.

Thanks for the help!

Do you see Garmin in the connected apps and devices?

For me it looks like this (but it may look slightly different on the iOS app):



I connected Garmin ages ago but I seem to remember that you not only need to add Garmin to MFP, but also connect to MFP in the Garmin app.

Try to disconnect your iPhone first, perhaps? It's been 5 years for me, I don't remember 🤔

There's 'Apps and devices' in the menu, but also take a look under 'Steps'?

Yeah I reconnected them both and still it didn´t change anything unfortunately.
I found some other pictures where the adjustments are made via the Garmin app. Any other ideas how to get there?

After disconnecting and reconnecting the apps - both Garmin --> MFP and MFP --> Garmin - plus unselecting/reselecting Garmin as step-device yesterday, it seems to be working as intended. Don´t really know what actually made it work all of a sudden.
Thank you very much for your help Lietchi!

Yay, I'm glad it worked in the end!
