Integration between Fitbit and Livestrong MyPlate

Hoping FitBit will make Livestrong MyPlate compatible. I've used the other apps that are compatible and MyPlate is much better, it has a wider data base on foods and more user friendly.

i love how at each meal the food log shows daily counts of all items such as protein carbs, etc.  but it would be even better if it had a grand total, a standard amount and if you are higher or lower.  Please see my plate by livestrong.  I used to log there until i met fitbit. the log there is similar to fitbit but with the totals i'm suggesting.

Fit bit has the market on tracking but is very lacking in Food logging. I used Livestrong for 3 years and thought it was OK then switched to My fitness Pal and found out what I was missing. I need to track many items about my health do to a study I am in and am required to use the fit bit and track food. I love the fit bit but the food log is lacking!! lRecipe entry like My fitness pal please! ( This allows for individual to fully understand what they are eating for nutrition).  Having the bar tool to scan food would also be so helpful.

I have my myfitnesspal app linked to my fitbit app. They talk to each other. Does this help?

I find "My Plate" from LiveStrong.com to be a far more effective means of tracking my food experience. Would it be possible to link to them?

I agree. FitBit needs the My Plate app.

Livestrong would be able to integrate with us by using our Web API.
