    Both FItBit and MFP give you credit for being alive during the day. You only want to eat back above and beyond what MFP already assumed you would burn. Otherwise you're double dipping. So you won't actually get the FitBit adjustment until you've gone above what MFP assumed you will earn....

    I don't know if someone can help me...but are you supposed to track your exercise or does fit bit do that for you? I am pretty sure i burned more calories than its reporting. I am just really confused on how this works. It is not making sense to me...Any help or information would be great. Thansk!
