Is anyone having trouble getting their calorie log from MFP and the Calorie In/Out section of Garmin Connect to sync? I bought a FR 235 a few days ago to replace my Fitbit Charge HR and I'm about to throw it against the wall!

    Mine has been fine, there was platform maintenance on Saturday though.

    Me too. Just purchased as well. It is syncing exercise calories to mfp though. Who knows? I'm giving it a bit more time to figure it out since this is my first day logging with the new watch.

    Everything seems to be working fine for me. Garmin Connect was down for Maintenance on Saturday/Sunday. other than that no problems.

    Garmin Connect and MFP are not syncing for me either. I disconnected from both sides and reconnected but it didn't help. Still searching for a fix.

    I am having the same issue with calorie in/out with MFP and Garmin Connect. It worked yesterday however, it has stopped working today. This is on iOS ... attempted to reboot the mobile device, re-link the app, log calories via connect app, re-sync form both apps. Nothing has worked.

    I've tried all that and still nothing. It doesn't work on the web version of Connect or the iOS version.

    One thing to note, is that there was a firmware revision (SW:3.00)for my vivosmart HR that was installed today... not sure if it could or would have anything to do with the issue

    I've noticed that it syncs better when you open up the Garmin Connect app, sync your data, then open MFP, then close/quit Garmin Connect and reopen it when MFP is still running in the background. :joy:

    Yep, same here. No joy on the syncing of calorie data to Garmin Connect. I am getting the data from GC to MFP. I have tried all the usual things but am coming up empty handed. Just have to wait and see if it corrects itself with the next updates.

    I'm gonna give it a few more days to sort itself out. If the shenanigans continue, I'll go back to the Fitbit for everyday tracking.

    I am also having issues today with My Fitness Pal and Garmin not synching! I can see the correct data in my summary on My Fitness Pal but the calories are not synching over the Garmin. Very frustrating!!

    Hopefully it works out for you. I love the fitbit challenges (which I still do) but I found my garmin calorie adjustments to be more accurate for me.

    Ditto! Very frustrating! It did this a few days ago as well, but ended up connecting in the evening. My GC has been extremely fickle. It keeps showing I have 0 steps for the day (I ran 8 miles today) and 0 miles on the leaderboards. So annoying. Hopefully it's some bug that the software developers are working through. I had an update install on my Garmin forerunner 235 today or yesterday. That might be the problem.

    Well maybe it is not MFP problem if you see in reports/activities/calories you will see MFP sends the data correctly but in Garmin calories in/out doesn't show it so maybe it is Garmin problem

    Having the same issues with calories syncing from MFP to GC. Activities are syncing, but no calories. Syncing between my Fenix3 and GC goes well.

    Occasionally, I had to unlink/relink to get updates flowing again.
