FitBit and MFP Duplicating Exercise

[EmJay1984]

Hi, all. I notice that my FitBit and MFP are duplicating exercise entries. For example, I did 30 minutes of kickboxing. Naturally, it’s tracked on my FitBit but I have to manually add this to MFP. After I do so, it adds that actuvity again to my FitBit exercise log. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!

Hi, @EmJay1984! Unfortunately, the way mfp and Fitbit are set up is not all that compatible with the HR versions of Fitbit. If you manually add an exercise to mfp, it will sync it back to Fitbit. You have two choices. One is to just track your food in mfp, let it sync back to Fitbit and use Fitbit for everything else. The other is to just deal with it and delete the mfp entry from Fitbit. They haven't really updated the interface since Fitbit released their hr models, it would be nice if the syncing could be set up to go either way with a toggle switch or something.
