I am having difficulty linking my Fitbit to my fitness pal app. It says it is connected, yet it’s not tracking my steps on my fitness pal app.

    How do I set up a sync between MFP and Fitbit?

    Best place seems to be your MFP web account first, as it seems to cut down on syncing issues later.

    MFP - Apps - Fitbit Tracker - Connect - follow process described (instructions on logging will be covered further below).

    You may still have syncing issues, usually seen as Fitbit stats not coming to MFP (steps, daily calorie burn, weight, BF%), but sometimes MFP stats not going to Fitbit (meal totals, workouts, weight). Usually effects those using the apps more.

    One method for getting around syncing issue, is unsync accounts totally from web accounts, and start process above again. Close your mobile apps, stop them from actually running, for this process.
    MFP - Apps - Your Apps section - Fitbit Tracker - Disconnect
    Fitbit - View Settings - Settings - Applications section - Revoke Access
    Start initial sync as instructed above.

    Mine went crazy the other day. I gave up and in the morning it was better.
