Give us a way to force a sync with FitBit

I don't know how MFP decides when to get updates from Fitbit but it isn't good enough. The other day, MFP didn't get updates from FitBit after mid-afternoon. I know this because in Fitbit I had over 8000 steps but MFP only showed me having over 5000 by the end of the day. Could you add a way to tell MFP to sync up? I'm having a similar issue today.
