Hello

I have a fit bit as well and it syncs with My Fitness Pal but i have a question. Today i am shoveling snow (lots of it) and i burned 1350 calories. When it synced with My Fitness Pal i received 451. Anyone know who i get less?
Thanks
Kim

    I am sorry- i do not remember- but i do remember that it is very easy because if it was difficult i would not have been able to do it. From what i can remember a little bit- on the fit bit app there was something about syncing with other apps and My Fitness Pal was listed as one of them. It syncs really nicely but i am not sure if i am double dipping if i add calories burned on MFP

    I take my Fitbit off if I'm doing anything other than walking and record it as cardio/strength in MFP - no idea if that's right or not but thought I would double count otherwise...
