I currently use my iPhone to track my activity. I have aFitbit and could switch to that. If I link my Fitbit to MFP, do I unlink my iPhone ? Will it cause me to get double exercise calories if I have both linked ? Which is more accurate?

    Unless you carry the phone with you everywhere. All the time, the Fitbit will be more accurate. Also, depending on what type of Fitbit you have, it tracks several metrics which are interesting. I have a charge that tracks sleep, heart rate, steps, calories burned, etc.

    I have both my phone app and my Fitbit connected to MFP and I haven't noticed that it is double logging activity. The iPhone health app lets me track micronutrients better than MFP, so I keep it associated. It's been a while since I connected everything so I don't remember what the settings choices are.

    What do you use on your phone to track?

    In my experience, my fitbit is more accurate than my phone. :)

    I used to use my iPhone to track my steps and transfer them here. Once I got the Fitbit I unlinked the health app though. Fitbit is easier than having to keep the phone in your pocket all day, and it gives a lot more info.

    I only track my steps and they go to MFP.
