If I go for a 30 minute power walk .. should I log that as exercise or is that already being accounted for in my steps!?
Thank you

    I don't count steps, so I would consider a 30 minute power walk to be deliberate exercise which should be logged.

    For those who use a Fitbit or other device synchronized directly to the MFP App, it might have to be regarded differently.

    If you're already counting steps that are giving you exercise calories, you do not want to log as exercise.
