I have followed your instructions and have linked GC with MFP. When I hit connect, it did try to sync, but no info was transmitted. It just says zero consumed and still shows my remaining for the day. I have entered my food intake on MFP, but it won't sync. Any ideas?

I've a FR620, I tryed to connect the two accounts but it works only the transmission of burned calories from GC to MFP. I don't see in my GC the calories from the aliments from MFP. It's normal? Or how can I resolve? Thanks

You one of the lucky ones. Mine is stuck on Syncing with MyFitnessPal...

How did you get it to work? Mine is still not syncing.

I just tried it for the first time last week and it worked right away . I just opened the Garmin Connect daskboard (modern version) and there was a big box that said click here to sync with MyFittnesPal. I did, put in my MFP credentials and it started to sync right away (both directions). See attached screen shot

This is now working for me. - MFP syncing both directions to/from connect.

Garmin 220

Looking at the data I think what's wrong. I got custom meal names in MFP and it seems GC is only taking last meal and not all meals from whole day. Please fix! :-)
+1

It appears the integration is now available for the FR220, but so far I am also seeing calorie count issues.

Whilst I like my Garmin device, the Garmin Connect software is appalling. Three installs, device fails to be recognised each time, no link to MFP and no help or guides to say how to do it (although it made the connection on the second install which then disappeared!!). I just use the free version of Strava - it just works.

Please add sync capabilities to MFP to save me having to also use mapmyride or strava!!!

I'm pretty surprised that Garmin Connect is about the last tracker that does not integrate with MFP. Odd that the free sites that sell no hardware can do it so easily.

Come on Garmin. Good HW but you're struggling with SW.

Here is what I found on MyFitnessPal forums:

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to post your question and my apologies for any issues.
Currently the Garmin and MyFitnessPal integration only supports the Vívofit and Forerunner15 models.
These devices are considered all-day activity trackers and send different data to MyFitnessPal then single exercise tracking devices like the 810.
We are working with Garmin to bring support for all devices, but I do not have a timeframe for when that will go live.
We appreciate your understanding and my apologies for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Scott
MyFitnessPal Staff

I have a FR310XT and Vivofit. I notice that the MFP widget takes into account the Vivofit calories (steps), but not the FR activities.
I need to add my FR activities like running, biking, etc. into MFP and then they are reflected in the GC widget.
Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

Still I like the MFP app because it gives a better view on what you're eating, divided in caloties, proteins, fat, etc...

seems there is some issue for me at least. I fill my meals in MyFitnessPal but Connect shows data way-off

Mine too, from the minute I saw that there was integration between the 2 programs. I get a blank box telling me if I want to see my food, I should LOG it with MFP. I had all my meals logged for today so not sure what the issue is with Garmin Connect.

When I click the arrow to display things and pick today's date, it shows me consuming 626 but on MFP I'm seeing 1128 consumed and 712 remaining. Garmin shows 1100 remaining. I've connected/disconnected many times, problem persists. Assuming its on Garmins side not MFP. Anyone have an answers how I can get the daily calories to show finally?

Same here. I haven't heard of anyone that has had luck getting Garmin Connect and myfitnesspal to sync. I can see my calories consumed in the connect widget but calorie data from connect won't sync with MFP. Is that going to be made to work soon?

SOLUTION!
I use garmin to record and Syncmetrics to get the data to run keeper. run keeper and my fitness pall works together. copymysport is an alternate.

seems there is some issue for me at least. I fill my meals in MyFitnessPal but Connect shows data way-off. Ie today I have filled already in MFP:

Totals 1,028 118 38 61 1,042 19

1028 calories

and GC shows 147 Consumed
same with last few days.

Sorry, but I cannot seem to find how to connect MFP to the Garmin Connect. Can anybody help me?

Did you ever figure out how to show burned calories from garmin connect to MFP?

After linking my Garmin Connect account with MFP, in MFP automatically add a exercise "Garmin Connect calorie adjustment".

Am I the only one that cannot find the button to link MFP with Garmin Connect? I've been to MFP and I see the connect button but it only goes to my dashboard. I have not found the button (if there is one) on Garmin Connect. Please help!

The sync to MyFitnessPal is great. Now my question is why are the BMR calculations significantly different between the two. 1430 in MyFitnessPal vs 1890 in Garmin Connect. 460 calories difference = a meal; which should I use?

RE: Sync with My Fitness Pal

I have problem with a sync. Garmin Connect show only calories from last meal and MFP don't show burned calories from Garmin Connect account.

Did you ever figure out how to show burned calories from garmin connect to MFP?
