Garmin Connect Not Syncing Calories Burned with Myfitnesspal

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

I just got myself a Garmin vivosmart hr today after using a Fitbit Charge HR since February. I am running into an interesting syncing issue between Garmin Connect and Myfitnesspal:

Myfitnesspal is able to send calories consumed to Garmin Connect.

Garmin Connect is able to send the calories burned from the activity I did today to Myfitnesspal.

However, Garmin Connect is not sending the total number of calories that I have burned today to Myfitnesspal.

I have tried unsyncing and then resyncing both apps to no avail. I have manually done the syncing from the Garmin Connect calories in/out page to no avail. I have also made sure that Garmin Connect is selected as the step counter in MyFitnessPal. I have also made sure to unsync my Fitbit account from MyFitnessPal.

If someone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated. I never had any issues syncing calories burned with my Fitbit. If this cannot be fixed, I may have to return my Garmin and go back to Fitbit.

Thanks.

Hi, I know this was asked over 4 years ago. . . but I'm having exactly the same issue. I seem to be able to get it to sync if I go to the website and force a sync. However, that's a real pain. Why can't I get it to sync on the app on my phone? As noted above, MyFitnessPal works seemlessly on their end. . . with the workouts showing up. However, the calories consumed don't show up in Garmin Connect. Any ideas?
