Using the Fitbit app to log food as opposed to MFP...

Hi All

I normally log my food via MFP but was looking at the Fitbit app's Food Diary earlier as I have a Charge 2 and it looks to be pretty similar to MFP in terms of scanning foods, creating foods etc and I just wondered if anyone actually logs both they're exercise and food with the Fitbit app as opposed to MFP for food and fitbit for exercise?

Thanks

    Food only syncs from MFP to Fitbit and not the other way around, so you’ll have a disadvantage there. Plus I don’t believe their database is as extensive.

    Plus upon further inspection it seems more confusing and time costly haha! I'll stick to MFP!

    It will also show up twice on your Fitbit if you log in both places.
    Plus if you have your desired deficit planned into the Fitbit there will be a conflict. I can be under daily calories in MFP but over according to the Fitbit at any time of day depending on how active I am.
