Steps not counting for calories?

Hi All,

I haven't been on here in a while, but last time I was, my step count would convert to exercise calories. My Apple Watch is now recording my steps on here, but I'm not getting "credit" for them on the calorie side.

Thoughts?

    MFP is super buggy. Sometimes if I disconnect and reconnect the "count steps" part it works. Usually if it counts the, it take a minute or two to convert to calories. It's constantly screwing it up. If there's a real fix, I'd love to know too.

    I found with my fitbit that there had been an upgrade to the fitbit that I hadn't received. MFP didn't log my steps for a couple of months. I uninstalled the fitbit App on my PC and re-installed it. That was when I found everything had been upgraded and changed then my steps started being logged again. Maybe it is something similar with your apple watch if you haven't been on here for a while.
