I have my Blaze set to sync with myfitnesspal app but I've been noticing that the calories burned according to Fitbit are not matching the calories burned by excercise in myfitnesspal. After my workout Fitbit shows 1,200 calories burned while myfitnesspal only shows 350.

@BrandyMarie, unfortunately, with the heart rate monitor devices, MFP isn't as compatible with Fitbit. The only thing Fitbit sends to MFP for exercise is the steps, to your best bet for calories burned is to look only at Fitbit.

@BrandyMarie Welcome to the Fitbit Community! Was the issue resolved? You can always contact MFP customer service for further insight on this. If still not working; you can try to revoke the access from MFP and then re link both apps (follow @SunsetRunner's steps on that post).

 

Keep me posted! Smiley Happy
