I found there are a ton of apps that link with MFP. Which do you use and why? What do you like about them?

    I have fitbit synced because I like to have my activity set to sedimentary and have my calories adjusted based on what I actually do for the day. Also garmin connect, so I do not need to log my exercise anymore.

    I like that fitbit has a pregnancy and nursing setting that adjusts mfp's calories. I like that some models track sleep, it paints a better picture of my day when I'm tired because I haven't slept, ate or exercised enough. I don't really log into the garmin page beyond initially setting it up so I don't know if there's anything I like about it or not, I only got the garmin recently and haven't been able to use it much with holiday gym hours.

    Thanks. That's the kind of info I am looking for.

    I am trying out Sworkit lite right now. I like how easy it is to use with MFP. I haven't really figured out some of it though so I'll see if I stick with it.

    The built in HealthKit App on my iPhone 6 Plus can sync with MFP. Haven't set it up to sync yet, though.

    I use Pact all the time because it pays me to do the things I'm already doing! I also like MapMyRun.

    In the past Fitbit and Runkeeper, but I no longer have anything synced (dropped Runkeeper because it overrode my Fitbit adjustment, dropped Fitbit when I switched to TDEE).

    I use endomondo to track all my mileage based exercise. I've tried a couple different GPS trackers but in my opinion endomondo is easily the best one for me.

    Runkeeper, because it syncs calories from my runs. Also, because it tells me exactly how far and fast I've run. Only use it for outdoor runs, though, since a treadmill will tell me the same thing for indoor runs.

    Achievemint - (US only) Who wouldn't want to get paid for logging food and working out?
    Garmin Connect - I use a VivoFit. When its working correctly, it transfers my workouts over and gives me an adjustment if my daily calories burned is higher than the MFP estimate.
    Pact - While I'm currently not using it, it's another app that pays you for logging food and working out. Although I only used it for the food part.

    Thank you! I have been working with Endomondo since reading about it here and I like it so far. :)

    Microsoft Health and my Microsft Band I love it because my workouts get entered automatically
