Still Confused

Today I did the 21 Day Fix "Dirty 30" workout. I searched for it in Fitbit but couldn't find it. So then I added it as a strength workout in MFP. I notice it didn't get added to Fitbit although a "workout" shows up around that time. Not sure if it will show as double since strength workouts don't ask for start time. I have no idea what things I should add in Fitbit vs MFP or why I need both apps. Very confused and spending too much time sitting trying to log things accurately lol. Help?

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Your Fitbit burn is TDEE—way more accurate than any online calculator. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time, so I only log exercise in Fitbit.

    It'll take trial & error to find what works for you. I don't log strength training—I just consider it extra insurance that I'm actually eating at a deficit. YMMV.
