Not sure where to ask this - my fitbit calories aren't showing up on MFP today. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do? It's possible this has been covered somewhere else, but I didn't know where or how to look. Thank you for any help.

what do ppl on this forum mean when they say
Bioscience? I have read this term being used in a derogatory manner a few times now. I am assuming the people mean pseudo science but am unsure. Perhaps Bioscience means different things to different people. When I was at university bioscience was any science connected with living organisms (ie. Medicine, biology, etc).

When I drink it, it's usually about 4 cups per day, and I use Sugar Free Coffee Mate (French Vanilla, Hazelnut). It's low-carb, low-sugar, and low-calorie. So, do I need to cut out my coffee cold turkey? Or, should I just cut out…
