How does apple watch work with mfp?
I have an apple watch where my calorie goal is 530. I just started back up here on mfp so I'm getting reacquainted and trying to figure out how these technologies work with each other. I notice that the calories I burn don't translate to the exercise calories granted~ I don't expect them to but now I wonder how all of my…

Accurate calorie counts for food
I like to cook so most of our meals are homemade. I’m having a hard time reconciling calorie counts that I find on my fitness pal, believing they are true. For example, I made a homemade chicken soup. It’s a whole chicken, carrots, onions, celery, tomato and corn. Nothing gourmet but quite delicious! It makes a huge pot.…

Didn't count steps
When I push my stroller I move my fitbit to my pants- usually my back pocket or front pocket. Today I put it in my waist since I did not have any. When I got back from my 2 mile walk there were no steps counted. :( I am assuming it's because it was in my waist and not in a pocket. ALSO- this morning I charged the fitbit…

calorie discrepancies
I'm just curious about that discrepancy with calories between fit bit and my fitness pal. Who should I believe? It shows that I have about 984 cal left to meet my goal. My fitness pal app only shows 84 cal left. They are synced, they both show the same amount of calories from the food log so that's accurate. I checked the…

More fitbit questions
Soooooo are the calories burned on my fitbit supposed to show up on my MFP? EX.. right now my fitbit says 1667 calories burned but MFP says 201. It's showing up today (which it was not yesterday) but they are not matching. I also checked off the box in the settings that allows for negative adjustments. Ideas?

Help a novice FitBit and exercise user
So I just got my new fitbit charge (yay) and connected it to MFP (I think). However, I don't see the steps being added to my exercise as it is reading 0 right now. Can someone walk me through the process? Thanks!!

Fitbit charge
hi folks I'm back on my fitness pal after a very very long dry spell. I am also thinking of getting a fit bit charge heart rate monitor and I wanted to know how that would stink, if it even does, with tracking exercise on my fitness pal.

Diary Burn out.
I'm starting up 'round 2' of MFP logging. I quit the first time b/c I got burnt out on logging my food. I love to cook. Many nights they are new and intricate recipes and I find that entering the recipes is tedious, especially when I have to do them every night. I would search for comparable foods in the database but don't…

Planks: How to avoid slipping?
I'm having a really hard time keeping my form and not slipping while doing planks. I try to hold the position (I'm doing the 30Day Shred), but I'm constantly readjusting myself because I slip. It's not a dirty shoe or floor (both are clean). Any tips?

In the BMR calc, I entered my current weight and again my current weight under the goal weight, age and body fat. My daily calories allowed is 1925. So, is that my BMR #?? is my TDEE…

Glacier slow weight loss- switched to TDEE-20?
I've been on MFP for about 3 weeks now on the plan to loose 2 lbs a week. Honestly I've been below 1200 b/c I've been really, really watching what I eat. But It's not working.
