I am a newbie excuse the bombardment of questions. I have syncronized my fitbit profile with myfitness pal. I also setup a food plan on fitbit that closely matches that of the one on myfitnesspal. I have done 25 minutes of strength training and 22 minutes of cardio today an the difference is that Myfitnesspal tacks the calories burned on to what I can eat today. I see the activity has syncronized on my fitbit dashbored but the calories I can still eat on my Food Plan does not reflect the same information myfitnesspal shows after the exercise, it basically hasn't budged. Will that work itself out or am I looking at this from the wrong angle?
It's been awhile, but I believe the two do that fundamentally differently. If I remember correctly MyFitnessPal is the entire day while Fitbit accumulates your BMR throughout the day. That can be rather annoying with Fitbit since many people eat dinner around 6PM when they still have a quarter of a day left. Most people don't actually eat a calorie a minute each and every minute of the day, but rather eat a few hundred calories here and there.
you need to link the two of them with each other.. individually.. go to each app and choose the option to link the other one.... then record food/water via myfitnesspal only, as will go to Fitbit, or it gets confused.
