    I disconnected my Fitbit and will wear my Polar ft4 HRM when I exercise this evening to add my exercise calories. I will continue doing it this way until this Fitbit syncing issue is fixed.

    If this is a typical day for you then I would disconnect your Fitbit and just add in the extra calories from another day that was similar or if you have an HRM I would consider using it.

    I hope this helps!

    Oh, and going by the email, it could be up until Monday before this is fixed. :/

    I've obviously become too dependent upon my fitbit because I'm about to lose my mind over this. Seriously.

    Not that this is a big help, but going to the Fitbit site, revoking MFP's access & then coming to MFP a few minutes later and re-connecting has been working for me to get things updated. I did this around lunch and again when I got home. I'm planning to do one more update around bedtime.

    Certainly not as nice as things just working but at least this does the job :)

    So question...how would you figure out your extra exercise calories for the day?

    If you've had yours for a while, you can kind of guess how many extra calories to add based on the number of steps you're at for the day. A rough estimate for me is +400 calories if I get in 10k steps. The actual adjustment is closer to 500, but the first 100 or so go towards getting me to the calories MFP gives me for having my activity level set to Sedentary.

    Mine last synced at 6am. I hope it's fixed soon. I need to know how many extra calories I have for dinner via exercise since we are going out tonight.

    mine still not syncing and I don't know how much ice cream I can have. :tongue:

    I have been going to the Fitbit app & after making sure the calories eaten is up-to-date from myfitnesspal (which the reverse seems to be working), looking at the calories left and subtracting 500 (my goal is a pound/week)

    I'm too scared to disconnect and then reconnect. knowing my luck something bad will happen and I'll lose all of data or I'll never ever be able to reconnect again :rage:

    Thanks for the tweets, Aprilslusher03.

    I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 6 Health app sync to MFP.

    MFP is saying I've done twice as many steps as I've actually done, and giving me I-don't-know-how-many-times too many calories I can eat back.

    I can't find the calculation to work out how many calories X amount of steps burn. Anyone know?

    Mine never synced at all yesterday but seems to have rectified itself today. Even corrected yesterdays. Hope this isn't going to be a regular occurrence to try and get everyone to sign up to the premium version. I'll be finding an alternative app if it does. Fitbit look like they can do every thing MFP can anyway. Has anyone tried this?

    Yes! Every single day since I received it last Wednesday.
