MyFitnessPal to Garmin Connect. Garmin Connect to MyFitnessPal?

I started using MyFitnessPal at the beginning of the month and have been trying to sync it with my VivoSmart via Garmin Connect. Garmin was having technical issues which have been rectified. I am able to sync my calories from MyFitnessPal to Garmin, but I don’t see ‘Step’ data syncing from Garmin to MyFitnessPal? How do I fix or setup the exchange from Garmin to MyFitnessPal?

    I don't know if this is what you mean but when I go into garmin connect under the menu selection calories in out I see a reference to sync with myfitnesspal. Only calories I guess sync up. I chose not to connect my garmin or my fitbit to MFP. I keep them all separate.

    Total Calorie Burn information syncs from Garmin to MFP
    Workouts sync from Garmin to MFP
    Garmin connect does not send total steps taken to MFP

    Thanks for your responses. Sounds as though 'Step' syncing isn't a function of Garmin connect. Should sync, maybe in the near future.

    I'm having the very same problem and am following This thread. If not being able sync step data between MFP and my Garmin VivoFit is true then I am extremely disappointed

    I am able to sync but the calories are always doubled. For example 700 calories burned from work out which is correct but another caloric adjustment for the same amount or higher so my day is always in negative? I do not know what I am doing wrong.
