in Fitness and Exercise
I recently started using MFP as I have used an app called "Lose it". I wear a Fitbit every day. I have the fitbit connected to MFP and but where can I find that it is registering my steps? I don't understand? On the Lose it, it shows your steps at the end of your daily log but when I log into exercises on MFP I dont see it anywhere on the computer or my cell? Does it only show up when I hit my daily required steps and if so where?

    i believe it rolls into your exercise calories on your home page on the web

    and on your exercise page.

    So it only shows up after I hit my required steps? Like I have my fitbit set at 7,000.00 as my daily goal.

    not, it starts to show up when fitbit calorie burn exceeds your mfp calorie burn...given things are set up correctly.

    actually i always see it in the app and it exercise tab of the web page but its shows as a negative or positive number depending on my daily activity

    My fitbit hasn't been communicating with MFP this week. It will show my food calories in the Fitbit app but my step are not showing up on MFP like they use to. I think it is just a technical issue at the moment keeping you from seeing them.

    I just got a fitbit too, says it's connected but shows nothing on the mfp app. Fitbit recognizes the food and water that I log on mfp though

    Reported calories burned from the Fitbit should show up under cardio in the Exercise section with an entry called "Fitbit calorie adjustment". I'm not entirely sure, but it may only show up when you have a calorie burn surplus for the day, unless you have "Enable Negative Adjustments" checked in the settings.

    Is Fitbit set as your step source? On the web it's under Apps>Steps. On the app it's under More>Steps. That might be why you're not seeing it. For me it shows up as soon as I sync my tracker in the Fitbit app or when I have my computer at home on (and I'm at home too, of course).

    My fitbit has also been not working this week with mfp and worked fine before, no settings adjusted. Might be bugged
