Hi I know my fitbit transfers my steps over to mfp but does it also do the exercise I record on it such as eliptical or do I need to add that to mfp myself to have the calories burned added?
Thanks

    Fitbit sends:
    - Steps
    - Weight (if you log it there)
    - BF% (if you log it there)
    - Total Calories Burned as of last sync (this includes BMR+ daily activity+ exercise to that point in the day)

    Your Fitbit Adjustment on MyFitnessPal is:

    Fitbit Total Calorie Burn (includes exercise) - MyFitnessPal estimated burn = + or - adjustment

    Yes, it transfers exercise over. You can check it by looking in the exercise screen on MFP and see if it matches the exercises on Fitbit.
