Do you have more than one App connected to MFP?

I currently have the FitBit app connected to MFP. I was thinking I was going to connect MapMyFitness as well, but was wondering if that was going to screw up the exercise calories...is that going to cause double-dipping to happen??

Thanks so much :)

    I have FitBit and Endomondo connected to MFP.

    FitBit and Endomondo are NOT connected to each other.

    I have several (MapMyFitness, Runtastic, FitSTAR, C25K) all connected to MFP. However I use a Polar HRM and only use one of the apps at a time so whatever is uploaded to MFP is from that specific app for that period. For instance, if I use the C25K I do not also use MapMyFitness for that part of my workout. However I will MapMyFitness with the HRM for the weight-lifting/general exercise portion. C25K and Runtastic are pretty similar in their estimation of calories used during aerobic work; MapMyFitness generally estimates less but is the only one I have that tracks weight-lifting/general exercise so it is a trade-off.

    I use MapMyRun but I find their tracking for calories burned incorrect. So I just use my HRM for that :smile:
