Fitness Trackers and MyFitnessPal

If I connect my Fitbit to MyFitnessPal, and I record a cardio exercise on MyFitnessPal, are my steps being recorded twice?

1st for the actual cardio exercise recorded in MyFitnessPal
2nd for the Fitbit step adjustment

    No.

    Your adjustment is:

    Fitbit Burn - MFP estimated burn (exercise + activity level) = adjustment

    Examples:

    No exercise logged-

    Positive with exercise-

    Negative with exercise-
