    I am using guidance from previous similar days of activity when planning my calories for today. It’s nice when everything syncs, but I’m confident it will catch up eventually. When my diary is updated from the backlog, I’ll find out how good or bad I am at estimating.... I’m deciding to take it as a “learning opportunity” for me.

    Is there an update on the backlog and/or fix?

    Remember you can always look at your device as day progresses, or Fitbit app - at Total calories.
    Subtract your deficit.
    There's eating goal.

    My Inspire HR will not sync with MFP either. Just started today.

    I can't get it to sync and I've updated firmware and the whole 9 yards. I'm thinking of discontinuing. It's not worth the aggravation

    Yes that’s my goal. I am comparing my calorie burn to similar days calorie burn in my Fitbit log. Since I look at my calories from a weekly perspective, it’s a little easier to adjust.

    FWIW I am seeing a slight change in my data. Last night my night time snack had not synced from MFP to Fitbit. The calories from that snack have now appeared in yesterday’s Fitbit log about 30 minutes ago. Today’s data hasn’t synced yet.

    Mine worked for a day or two and doesn't seem like it's been syncing for quite a few days now. I don't actually really track anything for results but I like to see everything laid out as a whole, so it's frustrating.

    Still not syncing here, tried all the usual disconnect routes. Anyone else still having issues?

    *** Please ignore this, found the link to fix on page 1 of this thread.

    My fitbit alta hasn't been syncing with mfp for weeks. Both apps are updated & I've disconnected & reconnected. Very annoying.

    Confirm that on all those updates the option in MFP app in setup is still for Step Source to be Fitbit.

    That can fall off easily and is not default, if not caught and changed you won't see a thing.

    Hello everyone,

    I know the topic is a bit old, but is the issue solved already?
    I'm still having no connection from FitBit to MFP. (no steps or trainings shown in MFP, but taken calories are visible in FitBit app).

    Thanks a lot

    Hi Heybales,
    thanks for your answer.
    Yes - fitbit is still the step source in the MFP app.
    I also enabled the option for negative adjustments in the training settings.
    And I double-checked the permissions in FitBit for MFP...

    Should I try to disconnect and reconnect the apps again?

    Is the problem solved for everyone else but me?

    Thanks!!

    Doesn't seem to be any known issues for syncing issues - so yet.

    But there is a bug on disconnect:
    https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032625231-Known-Issues-Integration-Partners

    Bug: Unable to disconnect fitbit from MyFitnessPal side from within the apps
    Workaround: Unlink via the website. Apps tab > Your Apps > select Fitbit > Disconnect
