Question, I LOVE MyFitnessPal App and have a question. I have been logging my "cardio" when i'm walking on the treadmill. My Garmin is linked to my MyFitnessPal, am I "double-dipping" in accountability?



I feel like I'm getting my cardio, but my tracker is picking up my steps?



Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

    I had the Garmin Vivofit and when I got steps during the day that did not count into my calories burned. I had to but on a chest strap when I did cardio and my burn calories are calculated off of that. Also keep in mind that the HRMs can have accuracy issues so try not to touch/ear exercise cals if you can help it. At least not all of the calories burned.
