DawnM Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Do you track your food/calories on Fitbit.com? How does it compare to MyFitnessPal? I tried to play with Fitbit.com's food log thing and it seems more cumbersome and doesn't allow me to add recipes of my own to calculate calories???? Or am I doing something wrong? I had really wanted to keep all my info in ONE place, but it may not work. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I use my fitness pal, but it is synced with my fitbit data. So food is entered into MFP, but it automatically gives me more calories via exercise if I get more than a certain number of steps. I don't have to do anything, it just knows. And if I enter stuff in MFP then my fitbit dashboard shows it too, so I can see my calories either place. It's really not a big deal. Just make sure if you enter any other exercise you do it in fitbit, and when you enter food you do it in MFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I use MFP for logging food, but I don't sync my Fitbit. It seems to me way too many people seem to have issues with syncing, and I don't want to fool with that. I have no trouble dealing with the separate data, although I know not everyone would like doing it that way since you don't get real time info.

Pink and Green Mom Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I log food through Lose It and synced that up with Fitbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. All my friends that use both sync them, and I've never heard of a single problem. I don't have any either. Only time I had an issue was when I put exercise into MFP by accident, and it gave me twice the exercise because fitbit logged it already.
