MyFitnessPal adjusts your calorie goal for the day according to your activity level. Luckily, MyFitnessPal has a feature called "negative calorie adjustments," which works with your activity tracker to provide you with more accurate information about how many calories you should be consuming each day.
Pair your Polar device with the Flow app by pressing and holding the Back button of your Polar device. Wait a while and enter the PIN code your Polar device suggests to your mobile device. Do not use your phone's Bluetooth menu to pair the Polar device. The pairing is done in the Flow app!
Launch the MyFitnessPal app, then in the Menu (or "More" page), tap Apps, and disconnect from Fitbit there. Then log out or force quit the app. Please make sure you know your username and password before doing so. Finally, log back into the MyFitnessPal app, go back to Steps, and reassign Fitbit as your step source.

Users with Step Tracking activated will see a progress bar on the Home screen of the app that fills in toward the day's step goal each time the app updates. If you are tracking steps with the iPhone option selected, you can change your daily step goal in More > Settings > Steps.
