in Fitness and Exercise
Does anyone use a Fitbit with MyFitness Pal (MFP)? The Fitbit sends my steps to MFP but not my exercise. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I also have Mindbody connected and although I can see the calorie burned nothing but my steps appear to be converting across apps.

    It's not going to send your exercise. If it is synced, you will start to see adjustments when your calorie burn for the day begins to exceed what your MFP activity level would predict.

    Is anyone having trouble syncing the fitbit to mfp having trouble since they downloaded something about 4 days ago?

    K so, Fitbit instructions says u have to enter the data once into MFP (not into the Fitbit app) so like food, water, weight etc. Everything else syncs. Also, have u downloaded the Under Armour Record app? On the wheel is a portion where u keep track of your workouts ie: type of exercise, duration & time. This will calculate how many calories were burned. I think once u install that, everything else should sync perfectly!

    I had the same thing. Try logging out & then back in. Go to: More...Scroll to the bottom & sync. It should correct!

    Go to steps on the mfp, it's under the more tab on the iphone. Make sure that fitbit is selected. This corrected my fault and no problems since. Hope this helps
