Just Got a Fitbit. Tips?

How accurate is my Fitbit Zip? The only exercise I really do is a lot of walking and occasionally some high knees, wide steps, and weighted squats, so it's definitely counting steps for me.
The exercise calories worry me a little though. Are they accurate? I have negative calories on too but every time it realizes I'm out and about, it logs it to MFP for me and I don't want to accidentally eat too many calories.
I already cut back my calories to 1600 just in case.
