I've been having problems with it all week. It syncs on the Garmin Connect portion, but does not put any information over into MFP.0

Also having this issue. I had a Jawbone UP which previously died and I got a Garmin connect for Christmas yesterday. So far, not too happy with the "Garmin" experience despite it's reputation. There's a post on Garmin's forums that seems to be on this same issue: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?98093-Calories-Consumed-no-longer-syncing-to-Garmin-Connect-from-MyFitnessPal0

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem. I just got a Vivosmart for Christmas to replace by fitbit flex and I'm seriously frustrated with the mobile app. Fitbit was so much easier.0

Emailed both Garmin and MFP support,hopefully a fix in the new year, same issue syncing data between the Apps0

If you go on the Garmin connect on your computer/laptop not the app you can sync it easy... I haven't had any problems0

Go to calories in/out and press the sync button.0

yes its been broken for a couple of weeks now. So manual sync from Garmin Connect is the way to get it to sync.0

I tried the manual sync and it still isnt working. Almost ready to return my vivosmart.

I just called customer service. Their server was down on Sunday and is back up. I'm syncing again for steps and food. You might want to try again...0
