I believe as it has an American food database you can connect to fitness pal for this. Does anyone know how and how it works.
Thanks

    I have a fitbit zip and when I have trouble finding food on their list I look it up on MFP and insert the data into the log for fitbit, vice versa. I dont know how or if possible to link the two though.

    My MFP and Fitbit accounts are synced. I find that it's much easier to track food on MFP and let Fitbit import the calorie information. Interestingly, Fitbit always allots me more calories than MFP does. I don't really care because I'm not trying to lose weight. I use MFP to balance caloric intake when I'm training because I tend to lose too much weight if I don't. I believe you can sync the two programs by going to apps.

    Sync your accounts and use MFP's food database, as it's much larger. It will send Fitbit the calories and macros you consumed.
