I've been letting my BMF monitor track my exercise and it syncs the calories burned with MFP. However, when I look at minutes of exercise achieved within MFP, it shows none. So it syncs the calories, but not the time. Does anyone know what happens if i log the the exercise time and calories in MFP, will that cause a double credit to calorie burn?

    Yes it will count the calories you manually put in as additional exercise calories.
    If you want to track your number of minutes in MFP, just add the exercise minutes, but only give yourself one calorie for the exercise (it won't you put "0").

    if you add the minutes and calories to your journal Bodymedia adjust your intake for the day that it puts on your journal.. so if right now it says 0 minutes 400 calories burned and you put in 30 minutes 100 calories burned, it will then show 0 minutes 300 calories burned.. for body media

    however, use the bodymedia calories not MFP, because bodymedia is 95% accurate
