    1. Verify your accounts are connected at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

    2. Enable negative calorie adjustments in your diary settings: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

    3. In the MFP app, go to More > Steps and choose Fitbit

    MFP sends aggregate meals & water to Fitbit. Fitbit sends your burn (which is TDEE) to MFP, and MFP adjusts your calorie goal accordingly. Fitbit exercise does not appear in MFP, just an adjustment in your diary under exercise. (If you want your Fitbit exercise to appear in your newsfeed, post a status update.)

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    I'm having the same issue today. They did go "public" today so maybe they are having some computer glitches.

    MFP has had issues with Fitbit syncing in the past. Also, when you first connect "sometimes" it can take up to several hours before you see the FB calorie adjustment in MFP.

    It's the FitBit app that is not syncing properly. It finally did some but it's not recognizing my active minutes for the day.....
