I've been tracking activity via Fitbit One and HR, and food via mfp for years and love it. I just added a Flex2 to track my swimming too.  

 

The swim tracking works really well in the Fitbit app, but it doesn't seem to transfer as 'credit' calories across to MFP like other activities do. 

 

Am I doing something wrong? I really want my swim exercise credit in mfp please 🙂

Hi there, @Thurnbyhelen! Nice to see you. Heart I'm glad to hear that you are having a good time with your Flex 2. I am also enjoying swimming with it. 

In this case, this type of activity can not be synced to your MFP account. See the chart below for more information regarding what syncs between this integration. 

What syncs?
Fitbit > Steps > MFP
Fitbit > Calories > MFP
Fitbit > Aria measurements > MFP
MFP > Logged food > Fitbit
MFP > Activities > Fitbit

I hope this helps, let me know! 🙂
