Downloading MFP data for free

Its a little crazy that MFP keeps your own data behind a paywall. Recently I found a way to get my MFP data (or at least most of it) for free.

All you need to do is to connect MFP to the FitBit app and sync the two. FitBit allows you download your data for free, and by connecting the two apps you transfer most of your MFP data into the FitBit app. Once the data is in FitBit you can go to their website and request to download your data in a .JSON format. You can go here (https://json-csv.com/) to convert those files to .csv or excel files.

Hope this helps other nerds who want to do analysis on their weight loss journey. Its a little convoluted, but it works.
