Correct order to link MyFitnessPal and MapMyRun with Fitbit

[honie99]

Hi all 

There's a bunch of other threads kind of similar but the question that I have is - what is the correct order to sync Fitbit, MFP and MMR accounts? I want to stop any duplicate records coming up in MFP which is the primary app I use to track calories and exercise.

Should I set them up as a three-way sync with all linked to each other? Or FB --> MMR, and MMR --> MFP? If MMR causes difficulties I'd be happy to switch to Endomondo if that played nicer with the other two.

I walk, run and cycle for exercise. (Don't even get me started on FB Charge HR recording a huge number of steps when I'm cycling!! I cycle to work so leaving it behind is not an option, and I want to record my heart rate.)

Thanks,

H

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

I'm finding that Map My Run doesn't send the map of my run, walk, etc over to Fitbit, but Endomondo does. Think I'll ditch Map My Run for this reason and stick with Endomondo.

I'm thinking the best way is to have your run tracker connected to Fitbit, and then Fitbit connected to MFP, so hopefully they'll then sync via Fitbit and that holds the run info - when MFP syncs back to Fitbit it also seems to send less detailed info.

I am also trying to figure out how to do this "threeway sync" between Mapmyfitness, Myfitnesspal, and Fitbit. Yesterday it seems that Myfitnesspal credited me with 1) a Fitbit calorie adjustment; +  2) a few separate walks I'd logged into the Mapmyfitness app. It seems it's double counting.
