Fitbit exercise help

Hi,
I am using mfp and fitbit. Should I log strength training and swimming into my fitness pal or fitbit. If I put it into either, do they link up? When i have logged it into fitbit in the past, it doesn't go onto mfp and I don't see a change in calories from when my fitbit last synced. Thanks in advance

Anything logged on fitbit will transfer to Mfp if they are linked, just be mindful that the fitbit is more than likely not accurate on the calories its telling you.0

Fitbit only sends step info and calorie info to mfp, so it sort of is connected but you won't get a wall post or diary entry from any workout you do there.0

I find that FitBit and MFP are close, but part of it is the time - Fitbit apparently truncates the time, whereas MFP rounds up when it reports the activity, which may account for the calorie difference.0

I would recommend reading through the first three posts in this thread on the MFP Fitbit Users group...
