I've connected MFP with my Garmin connect and vivofit, so I know my active calories are being synced. When I cycle I use a Garmin edge 510. Do these calories sync over too? Or do I manually enter them in MFP

    I use a Vivofit too, and if the calories from an activity are in Garmin Connect they will sync. It seems if you manually add calories burned to MFP, GC will not give a positive credit unless you then go and outdo those manually added calories burnt. I hope this makes sense.

    I think it integrates best when food goes in MFP and exercise goes in GC.

    Oh, and there seems to be a delay of a few minutes for both sites to catch up with each other.

    When I checked with the Garmin site for my Edge 800 it said that only the Vivifit will sync initially with full compatibility coming later in the year.
    So I would add your cycling.
