I am a masterboxer and shadow box for several rounds. Should I enter aerobic activity. By the way I have a fit bit linked to myfitmesspal. Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to MFP!

    Either aerobics or calisthenics should be pretty close. But if you have a fit bit linked, it probably is already accounting for the calorie burn, getting automatically accounted for by the MFP food diary, and should be nothing else you need to do. (You only get credit ONCE for your exercise.)

    If you have your Fitbit synced to MFP, by the end of the day I believe it should be bringing over your total calorie burn to reconcile with MFP's expectations. That's generical the case for tracker synch. Not being a Fitbit user myself, I don't know whether you need to start a fitness activity on the Fitbit side in order to see the exercise calories as an explicit line item in MFP, or anything like that.

    I hope you'll get answers from experienced Fitbit users here. In case not, there's a Fitbit Users group here that you can join, maybe increase odds of specific, detailed answers:
