Linking to MFP -- Fitbit and Fitstar BOTH or just the Fitbit

Am going to get a Fitbit Blaze today, start using tomorrow, and will link it with MFP. But I also use FitStar.

Do I link both? It's nice to see all exercise in one place. But will that cause double counting?

Thanks for any help. Will be new to FitBit -- have been using Garmin but their devices no longer play well with MFP, so I'll give the Blaze a try.

    You try it and if it double logs just go into your exercise section here and delete one of the entries.

    Ah, yes -- the "try it and see" approach -- sounds like a great plan -- way better than the amount of time I've spent obsessing over the whole subject.

    Thanks so much for taking the time to respond --

    I have both linked to MFP and it only logs fitstar workouts once for me!

    There may be more than one way that works -- I linked Fitstar to the Fitbit only and that seems to have made the appropriate calorie adjustment in MFP.

    Thanks so much for letting me know what works for you -- I'll keep an eye on this combination for a day or two, then good to know I can adjust if needed.
