Distance Runners - What are you fueling with?
Starting to ramp up mileage for another fall marathon and looking for different fueling, meal prep, and recovery options, especially for hot summer runs. What's everybody got?
Calorie limit going down, why?
Okay I, finally, managed to get my Garmin to connect and log my (very limited steps), and now I have FEWER calories on a daily basis, and each day the number it is reducing it by is going up leaving me with even less to play with (started by removing 17, then 33, now up to 83 fewer calories!). Does anyone have any idea why?
New to the app.
I’ve had a garmin watch for some time now and found this as a suggestion, so I’m on day 2 and figuring it out bit by bit. Definitely excited to get this journey up to speed, not high speed just a nice cruising type of speed, this isn’t a one off bike ride but the rest of life!

Starting Again at age 57
Hi, About 10 years ago, I was 230 lbs, I am 6'2, I was back up to 215 lbs, on April 1st. I do this too often; I gain weight in winter and lose it in Summer. But I never get back to where I was, adding about 5 lbs a year. I am done with the YoYo. I started on April 7th, 2025 at 215, with the goal of losing 1-2 lbs a week,…
Garmin Connect connected but won't select for Steps
I've connected my Garmin and MFP accounts but when I try to select GC as the app to get my step count from, it just brings me to the screen to sync accounts again and it already shows the account is connected. There's no option to do anything further, or actually choose it as a device for my steps.
I log 10000 steps and my calorie target is decreased- why?
New user. I have logged over 10,000 steps today and I get 1644 calories taken OFF. What is the logic behind that? (Step target was 10,000)
Garmin Connect
So MFP has the Sleep feature, yet, despite being synced do Garmin connect where it accesses my activities, somehow can't gain my sleep data? Same for water consumption, I log water consumption directly on my watch, and yet, it doesn't sync to MFP.
Introducing 🥁... Myself!
I have used MFP for 7 years, with varying intensity. When I use it seriously, it never fails. Looking back, I am not sure what knocks me off, unless it is extended travel with unusual food choices and a disrupted routine. I have never reached out to join the community but I'm hoping that an accountability group will help…
Time for self-care!
Hello MFP friend, I like to take care of others, but easily forget about my own needs. Time to change some of these habits!

If you like to encouraging each other, to…
Is ist possible to connect the Garmin App for calorie adjustments in MFP?
Before I was using Fitbit and the calorie adjustments were made via the Fitbit App. Looked like the picture here: Now that I am using the Garmin App, I want to use Garmin to provide the data for MFP do adjust the calories. MFP shows, that instead of the Garmin App, my phone (iPhone) is being used for that. See picture: How…

How do I track my Garmin Vivosmart 5 device with MyFitness Pal website?
Hi, I was able to record my first day accurately, but can't figure out how I did it. I definitely have it connected to the device, and I can view the calories from the Garmin Connect website. I just can't figure out how to record the exercise on the MyFitness Pal website. I don't have the app, I use the website, and I…
Heart rate monitor for overweight folks?
Hi there! I’m trying to choose a HRM, and my instinct is that I’d find an arm band more comfortable, but it seems like chest monitors are more accurate. My hesitancy with a chest monitor is that I have lots of back fat and belly fat, and I’m worried it would shift around/not fit on me. I’m female and wear a sports bra, and…

Are any other Garmin users having difficulty connecting Garmin Connect to MFP?

Same thing with the Withings smart scale app. Please let me know if you’ve had similar issues and if…
