MyFitnessPal Sync FAQs

Updated

Please read the following Frequently Asked Questions about the MyFitnessPal Sync to troubleshoot your issue.

  1. I have synced my MyFitnessPal account and my TrainingPeaks account.  How soon should I see my meal posted?

    • After connecting accounts, your meal should be shown within a few moments.  If you haven't seen your meal entered on your TrainingPeaks calendar in a few hours, try re-entering a meal detail again.  If the problem persists, disconnect and reconnect your accounts.

  2. I have logged an activity in TrainingPeaks. Will calorie expenditure be sent to MyFitnessPal?

    • Yes, as long as you enable "Sync meals and log activities" from the MyFitnessPal Sync sign-up.

  3. I set up my sync, but didn't enable Log Activities to MyFitnessPal.  How can I enable that setting?

    • You will want to disconnect and reconnect the accounts. When reconnecting, the option to log activities will be present. 
        1. Go to home.trainingpeaks.com/myfitnesspal and log into your TrainingPeaks account. 
        2. Select the option to Disconnect accounts.  
        3. Return to home.trainingpeaks.com/myfitnesspal and select "Sync Meals from MyFitnessPal and log activities to MyFitnessPal".
        4. Click Connect your accounts now, and follow onscreen prompts.

  4. Can I delete logged meals from my calendar when viewing on TrainingPeaks?

    • The Nutrition card in TrainingPeaks is read-only and cannot be edited/ deleted from within TrainingPeaks. If you need to update and/or delete, you will need to access the meal from within MyFitnessPal and make those changes. 

  5. Will my historical meal entries sync into my TrainingPeaks account after connecting with MyFitnessPal? 

    • No, historical entries will not sync into TrainingPeaks.

  6. What happens if a day from MyFitnessPal fails to sync?

    • You can go back into the "skipped" day in MyFitnessPal and either add a small snack or change a food. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and select "complete entry". This will initiate a sync with TrainingPeaks for that day.
