Linking to Fitbit Flex

When MyFitnessPal is setup you choose a daily activity level. If a fitbit flex is then linked is the exercise in MyFitnessPal effective set automatically to zero and the activity used from fitbit when synced. My concern is that the exercise is double dipping, once from MyFitnessPal activity expectation and then from exercise the fitbit indicates???

    fitbit tracks step-based activity and yes that will automatically update your MFP (although I wouldn't take it as accurate until the next day as it estimates based on how much you've done at a point in time .. and readjusts throughout the day)

    Any non-step based activity you log as exercise on MFP with the times - and this overrides the step-based stuff

    HTH
