MS Health & My Fitness Pal integration?

[Askeptic]

Can someone tell me if the integration between My Fitness Pal and Microsoft Health is limited to steps only?

After linking them together, I can only see my steps taken in My Fitness Pal. It doesn't look like the "Exercise" variable is being updated with the amount of calories burned from MS Health. Frankly, I could care less about steps taken as I can see that on my band. I want to know my remaining calories for the day.

My old Garmin VivoActive did this function. Is there a trick to get the Band 2 to perform it as well? I see My Fitness Pal listed as a partner of Microsoft's, and MS site sure makes it sounds like it is suppose to work.

I've had problems with it tracking in the past but it's been at least a month or two. Currently it seems to be sharing the info correctly.

Thank you one0one951,

I will keep at it. Nice to know it works once I solve my issue.

Data from my band is linked over to MFP only when I select and complete a run, exercise, or bike. I haven't tried golf yet. I don't see any step or calorie data going through to MFP automatically each day.
