Have you experienced the same? My sport watch counts 10k and myfitnesspal is around 5k-7k at the same time

    Hi @talpod2025 welcome to MFP.

    MFP doesn’t record steps in and of itself.

    It’s picking those steps up from an external tracker.

    I’m curious if it’s possible you’re carrying a phone (iPhone tracks steps) that’s recording steps to MFP as well as your tracker (I’m assuming you don’t have an iPhone/Apple Watch combo).
