Some basic questions about fitbit and MFP..

DogBuddy69

Spent hours last night researching this and could not find answers for some basic questions. This is in relation to how Fitbit works and how it syncs with MFP.

1. What's the point of manually logging exercises into MFP/Fitbit if Fitbit already estimates my calories burned based on my heart rate? If I do a non-step based workout such as biking.. won't it estimate my calories burned based on my heart rate?

That's it. Thanks.

There is an MFP Group for Fitbit users. I believe you will find nearly every question answered there, or someone who will help.

Thanks. Didn't seem to find an answer over there yet. Will post my question on that board.

Personally I never logged in extra exercise and just let fitbit do its thing. Some people like to eat more so they log extra exercise to get more calories. That never worked for me because I can't eat that much and lose weight.
