Why do my daily steps get zero'd out when I am walking a mile outside? I'd like to get credit for my steps during the day.

    I think it depends on your activity setting within MFP. I am set at very active. MFP does not give me calorie credit for daily steps, however, I do get calorie credit for walks that I start and stop on my Apple watch.

    So fir example, I get no calorie credit for walking to gym or yoga studio, or walking around the house, because those are just party of my routine day. I do get calorie credit for the four mile walk in the morning and the three mile afternoon walk, because I’ve measured those activities via my watch.

    MFP does show all the steps taken for the entire day, though, if I want to look at them.
