I have a new fitbit charge 2 and it won't sync with myfitnesspal. I've looked up stuff online with no luck. Uninstalled apps/reinstalled apps still won't sync. I want to track everything please help.

    It’s not you, it’s them. Mine isn’t syncing just now either. It will eventually

    Is meal totals going to Fitbit account?

    Are steps showing up on MFP?

    On phone MFP app - did you select Fitbit as source of steps?

    I’m having the same issue, my food will sync from MyFitnessPal to Fitbit but my exercise won’t sync from Fitbit to MyFitnessPal 😢

    Are you getting a calorie adjustment? You aren’t going to have individual exercises sync over, just the amount of calories you will burn above (or below with the negative adjustment on) maintenance.

    There may be issues.

    Did you ever have them?
    Do you have steps shown?

    Your MFP app setting for Source of steps could have moved off Fitbit.

    You could have MFP setting for Negative Adjustments disabled, and your Fitbit never reports getting more calories burned than MFP estimated already.
