I've been using My Fitness Pal for a few weeks, and paired it with my running app Endomondo.  I was just gifted a FitBit One for my birthday earlier this week and I was able to figure out how to link My Fitness Pal with my FitBit.  So will everything update automatically now?  If I run with my Endomondo app, then it should load to the My Fitness Pal app, which in turn will update my FitBit Dashboard... correct?  I'm trying to avoid double logging workouts and getting a false calorie count.  Thanks in advance for any info and advice.  🙂

@Sonjapm716 It's nice to see you around! You can have as many apps as you want. However, you may want to see what's going to sync between Endomondo and Fitbit and MyFitnessPal and Fitbit; to make sure that you're not double counting your data. 

Endomondo: Fitbit will sync steps, distance and sleep and Endomondo will sync activities to Fitbit. 

MyFitnessPal: Fitbit will sync steps and calories and MFP will sync food and activities to Fitbit. 

 

As soon as your tracker syncs to your Dashboard then your data will be updated in the third-party apps.
