It appears mfp is only adding my step calories not exercise calories. Anyone know how to fix this?

    If you've got a charge HR, your exercise calories are included in your total daily burn on your fitbit app. The adjustment on MFP is based on what fitbit tells MFP your daily total burn is likely to be so it's all included already. It says steps but if you click on the adjustment it gives you more details of how the calorie adjustment is calculated. At least I think that's how it works for step based exercise. I log things like cycling and swimming in MFP
