Okay so im just seeing this being added into my daily calorie intake as I take steps throughout the day.

My question is.....is this being counted if im doing the treadmill and should I be adding the treadmill in too? Or is that just doubling up? Hope this makes sense.

    If you're using an activity tracker synced to MFP you should be entering any exercise through that app and not MFP. If it's step-based, like the treadmill, there's really no reason to log it separately but everything else should go through the app for the tracker.

    Do not log any step-based activity (including the treadmill). Only non-step exercise like swimming or biking.
