Your Garmin Connect™ account can be linked to your MyFitnessPal account in order to sync calorie data, which can aid in reaching exercise and diet goals. To enable syncing, the two accounts must be linked through either Garmin Connect web or the Garmin Connect app.
The information below is communicated between MyFitnessPal and Garmin Connect:
Caloric intake that is input into MyFitnessPal will sync over to the Calories In/Out widget under the 'Consumed' category on Garmin Connect.
Manual activities created in MyFitnessPal are added as activities to Garmin Connect and will be added to the active calorie count on your Calorie In/Out widget.
Activities uploaded to Garmin Connect will show up in the MyFitnessPal News Feed and Diary as 'Exercise Calories'.
Weight added to Garmin Connect will sync to MyFitnessPal and vice versa.
Steps from Garmin Connect will sync to MyFitnessPal if you have selected Garmin Connect as your Steps device in MyFitnessPal.
