Is anyone else having issues syncing steps from Fitbit?

    mine very seldom syncs. I have to guess the calories, about 100, per mile

    No need to guess.

    Just look at your device for total calories.

    Subtract 500 or whatever for how much you can eat so far.

    The 100 per mile isn't good idea - because MFP activity levels already have an expected amount of movement and calorie burn - which is steps of course, built in to the estimated calorie burn.

    Not working for me either right now - and most annoyingly it deleted the steps that were already synced for today. So if it's not fixed I'll go over my numbers on MFP without really eating too much. Very demotivating.

    But remember, just like numbers on a scale don't actually define you (or shouldn't) - numbers on MFP don't define what happened - especially if you KNOW something different happened.

    Just make a note in the food log that Fitbit total was actually X, eaten was Y, deficit was Z.
