Hi, I recently came back to MFP. I run on a daily basis and use "runkeeper" on my phone to track distance, time and calories the log into mfp and log it. I noticed I can not link that with MFP does anyone use the mapmyrun? Also, I recently started to wear the Fitbit Flex band..... should I take that off when I go running and use the mapmyrun information and put the band back on when I get back or use both? Wont one take away from the other?

    I never had any issues connecting Runkeeper to MFP.

    But the best thing to do would be to connect Runkeeper to your Fitbit, and then Fitbit to MFP. That way you get credit for the steps and your calories burned without needing to log anything.

    I use mapmyfitness and a jawbone. Both sync'd to MFP as I want to keep track of workouts...

    I change the mapmyfitness entries to 1 calorie and let my activity tracker information stay.

    Leave your Fitbit on.
