I was wondering if anyone alternates tracking between MFP and WW?

I used to track both sites. I found that the point system would not be accurate for the weekly points/activity points unless I tracked every day on the WW site. I have transitioned to using MFP exclusively for tracking. My rationale (much to the dismay of my WW leaders) is two fold. First and foremost I must track sodium and sugar intake per my doctor's advice. I am not able to complete this task on WW. Secondly, the food database is so much better on MFP than WW.
I tracked both sites for awhile, but it got exhausting. I am losing weight, and was within WW points, so I eventually dropped the WW tracking.0 -
I track both. I use MFP on my phone and online to track and I also use my 3 month WW tracker to keep up with points and an easy go to guide for foods I eat a lot for point values.0

I use MFP and WW to track. WW lets me eat a lot more than MFP. I have to exercise quite a bit to eat more than 2 times a day with MFP because MFP gives me 1200 calories. So, I have to burn at least 700 to 1000 calories to eat as much as WW gives me without working out. So I am trying to adjust between the two. I am notorious for not eating; so, I don't think it is healthy to go back to eating 2 meals a day on days I don't exercise.
How do you guys merge the two sites?0 -
I just started MFP Dec 1st and I'm still using it and my good ol' paper tracker! I think MFP is more user friendly for tracking and as PP said you can track sodium, sugar and for me calorie intake is important too. I think MFP is helping me to eat better quality foods. I feel like the two work very well together. WW for the plan and MFP for the tracking is the way I'm doing it!0

My doctor stated that I should eat 1200 calories on a day I don't workout. 1500 calories on a day that I do workout. This matches the calorie counting for MFP. I wonder how many calories that we are eating with WW because fruit and vegetables are free.0
