I have synched my Fitbit Flex & MyFitnessPal Apps.  When will the calories burned from Fitbit show up on my MyFitnessPal?  Do I have to wait till the ed of the day?  Do they automatically synch over to MyFitnessPal?

  I have logged my food on MyFitnessPal.  Will they synch to the Food section of calories eaten of the Fitbit dashboard?

@MFehrenbach2013 It will be a pleasure to answer your inquiry!

MFP and Fitbit should sync instantaneously. There may be an ocassional 3-5 minute delay. At the end of the day Fitbit will make a calorie adjustment in order to show you the same amount of calories. In order to see how many calories you have in Fitbit and MFP go to MyFitnessPal > Exercise and click on "Fitbit calorie adjustment" . The food that you log in MyFitnessPal will sync to Fitbit. 

 

The Fitbit calorie Adjustment will change during the day because it will be based on the calories that you've burned until the hour that you check MyFitnessPal. As you can see in MyFitnessPal will say "base on 862 calories burned as of 10:52am"
