Traking steps using Pacer and walking on treadmill

kfloer

Hi! I am fairly new to this. I am tracking how many steps I'm doing by using the Pacer app and syncing to MFP. I am questioning if I have my phone in my pocket while on the treadmill or take it out of my pocket. Do I log how many minutes I walked if I have my phone in my pocket because the app is going to calculate how many steps I took and how many calories I burned. If I log that I walked 30 minutes, MFP is also going to calculate how many calories I burned.
Thanks!
