Syncing problem?

Is there an ongoing problem with syncing between FitBit and MFP? For the past week or so, the only way I'm getting my calorie adjustment updated is by disconnecting and reconnecting the two - otherwise nothing comes through. And it's not retrospectively updating even then - at the end of the day, my calorie adjustment reflects what it was the last time I disconnected/reconnected, rather than my final totals.

    Yep, scan over the subject titles of several topics with many posts in them - that's what they are about.

    That total disconnect not always the best way.

    If you add bogus workout to MFP during a time of sleep, confirm Fitbit updates with it, then delete the workout on MFP - does your MFP Fitbit calorie adjustment eventually update?

    I've not tried adding bogus workouts, no. What would that accomplish? Would it check which way the problem is, Fitbit sending information to MFP or MFP receiving it?

    It forces MFP to send workout info to Fitbit - which doesn't happen normally unless you make a workout.
    Then Fitbit has higher calorie burn to send back to MFP, which should happen about every 100 cal increase anyway.
    Which should now show under the details on the Fitbit daily adjustment.

    Food syncs one way and doesn't effect daily burn calories, nor sends info back to MFP.
