Linking Fitbit

gdsknight

Ok, I don't know if this has been covered before or if it is the right forum but I would like some suggestions about what and how to link my Fitbit.

I would like to link my Fitbit info to MFP but I would also like to use another app to track runs, cycling, etc. etc. Which ones out there will allow for fitbit to link to it without issues of double counting information? Am I going to have to remove fitbit when I use apps for those activities? Thank you ahead of time for the information.

Hi,
Here's some info about linking Fitbit to MFP http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help/faq/295-how-do-i-link-my-fitbit-account-with-my-myfitnesspal-account

I only have those two linked but on the Fitbit site, they recommend a bunch of apps that you can link to your account http://www.fitbit.com/apps

I'm not sure how it would affect double counting etc, but I suppose you can also go off of the apps that MFP suggests and compare the two sites. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps

Also, check out the Fitbit group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1307-fitbit-users

Good luck

I use my fitbit as a daily record of my general activities.
When I go for a run or cycle I leave it at home and just use the runtastic app on my iPhone which I found gave nearly the exact calorie burn on a run as the fitbit ( within about 10 calories) and then sync with MFP
