Hi
So like others the fitbit/mfp integration vs the garmin/mfp integration bugs me.
I read on some forum a couple of things - one is to go to fitdatasync to get your activities synced from garmin to fitbit and thus mfp - but it does not import steps. So step to is to manually import steps into fitbit in the activity log and then they import into mfp and show in your dash. I have tried this on 2 days - after the fact (so the next day) and it does work but adds calories burned as you have to enter the steps as a walk. So I don't know if it is worth doing at all. It has not messed with my MFP total calories since I did it after I finished logging.
Anyway - may be just a rant but I like my numbers in one place and since I have years of fitbit data....just trying to keep it all in place.
thanks
