### **Troubleshooting Sync Issues**

If your MyFitnessPal diary isn't syncing with CoachKit, please verify:

-   Your MyFitnessPal diary contains recent food entries
    
-   The username under Integrations onn CoachKit exactly matches your MyFitnessPal profile name
    
-   Your MyFitnessPal diary is set to public and **not** locked with a key
    
-   At least 3 hours have passed since the last sync
    

**Data Retention:** All previously synced data remains in CoachKit after disconnection - only future syncing stops.
