Does anyone owning this device have a problem with Garmin Connect app/website listing your calorie goal at 1200 and My Fitness Pal has your daily goal at 1500?
This is where it has been all along only when I sync my apps together the goals are different.
According to Garmin I am over my limit everyday and there is NO place on the site to change this.
It's very annoying. If there is any help out there I would appreciate it.
TIA

    Although I haven't received my Vivofit 2 in the mail yet, I did download the Garmin Connect App and have it linked to MFP. The only issue that I have is that Garmin will only list the Default Calorie goal that MFP sets for me. As a Premium member I periodically change my calorie goal under custom settings. However, Garmin connect will not show the custom goal that I set. Instead it still shows the default goal that MFP set. Not a big deal for me because the calories are not that far off from each other. One thing to note, though. If you change your calorie goal on MFP while you are still logged in to the Garmin App, you should log off and then back in, reconnect the App with MFP, and your new amount of calories should now show up in the Garmin connect app. I don't know why I need to do this but it does seem to help.
