So I just did my morning cardio workout and my Fitbit says I've burned 185 calories. When I look at MFP it only shows 82 burned. Why is this?

Hello @GiaA.

 

It is possible that the workout hasn't been synced to MFP yet. If that is the case I'd recommend giving it some time as it can take a while for the information to sync between the two.

 

Or has it synced already? If so, please let me know so that I can take a closer look.

 

Feel free to reach out with any further questions.

Oh yeah, it was definitely synced. It’s been like this ever since I’ve synced the two. Please, if you can, let me know what the reasoning for this is. Thank you.

Hello @GiaA.

 

Thanks for letting me know.

 

In this case I'd recommend that you try to get in touch with MFP directly. Given that these integrations are developed by the third-parties they should be able to see what is going on.

 

Let me know if there is any further questions.
