Syncing MFP with Fitbit

I'm trying to figure out how to log my exercise. My steps sync from my fitbit to MFP but my workouts don't. So like this morning, I did walk/ run intervals on a treadmill, and I have 6,755 steps that synced. Do I still log my time on the treadmill as well? That gives me a lot more calories to eat, but it also seems like double dipping. I hope my question makes sense.

    Individual exercises logged within Fitbit will not show as an individual line item within your exercise diary on your MFP account. The calorie burns for those specific exercises are sent to MyFitnessPal and included within the total daily calorie burn pushed from Fitbit to your MFP account. This is then displayed within the details of the MyFitnessPal calorie adjustment in your Diary.

    When fitbit works I do the same. It seems to not grant additional calories earned until more steps have been racked up.
