Hello

 

Discovered something odd on the stats for yesterday:

- In the morning I ran for 6,7k burning 577kcal according to Fitbit Dashboard. Using my Surge to log this one as a "Free Run"

- In the evening I performed a 75min Martial art exercise - without my Surge. This one was manually added in MFP. MFP states this burned 983kcal. This activity did not sync back to Fitbit it seems....

- Total number of steps for the day became 12.540 stpes

 

My daily exercise summary in MFP for yesterday shows up as below:

Can anyone please explain to me how my 12.540 steps - including a 6,7k run (577kcal) - became 76kcal for this day?

The sync between MFP and Fitbit came to life again last evening when MFP synced to Fitbit my manually recorded Kettlebells exercise.

However it did not sync over the exercise from monday - until I deleted it and added it again manually. Than it showed up almost imediately in Fitbit....
