Does anyone out there have any experience using a Fitbit One and trying to sync it with My Fitness Pal? When I sync, the number of steps are updated on My Fitness Pal, but not the number of calories.

At the time you link your MFP account and your Fitbit; you can check your Fitbit information on MFP in the Reports Page, such as sleep, steps and body fat %.

 

However; if you want to check your daily caloric budget, this information will be available on your Food Diary page at the bottom, showing the extra calories you've earned from your steps. It looks like this:

If you are not seeing this information on your Diary page, we'll need to relink your MFP-> Fitbit accounts like this:

  1. Go to your Apps page and search at the middle right of the page for the apps you currently have linked.
  2. Select Fitbit tracker
  3. Click on Disconnect
  4. Log out of Fitbit and MFP. 
  5. Log back in
  6. Log into MyFitnessPal and click Apps.
  7. In the App Gallery, find Fitbit and click Connect.
  8. Click Allow to give MyFitnessPal access to your Fitbit data.
  9. Follow the instructions provided.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions Cat Very Happy
