An iOS App that Tracks Food and Links to Fitbit AND MFP?

Is there a fitness app that can pull my food diary off of MFP and then sync it with Fitbit? I'm trying to find a way to keep my Fitbit One unlinked to MFP but still have my food diary show up on Fitbit. I don't want to link my Fitbit directly to MFP because I absolutely hate how the calorie adjustment works but at the same time, I don't want to manually enter my food twice every time I eat, once on MFP and once on Fitbit. So I need a fitness app that I can use to bridge the two together - an app that I won't use for anything other than to have my food show up on my Fitbit. I don't care what kind of app it is - a running app, a cycling app, walking app - as long as it can sync my calories-in from MFP AND links to Fitbit, I'm good.

Does such an app exist for iOS?

    Why do you need to try to follow 2 roads to the same destination goal?

    You aren't putting the Fitbit burn figures on MFP it sounds like to improve that estimate, so why try to put the MFP diet info on Fitbit to view those eating goals?

    View Fitbit as your fitness goals, MFP as diet goals.

    Sounds like you have a set daily goal you eat to, so why would it matter for eating goals to show up on Fitbit correctly?

    You doing TDEE method with set daily goal and therefore desire no adjustments?

    Also, it likely won't be 2 apps that do it, but rather 2 sites that are syncing in the background, whether you use the apps or not. Like Fitbit and MFP do.

    My reasons are complicated and would require I to write a book explaining them but the simple answer is that I have my own method that involves the integration of several apps and that requires that I see my data in different ways, depending on my type and level of activity on any given day.
