I just ordered a fitbit and I was wondering how the synching works with MFP. Does it count every step you take as exercise?

    It calculates the calories burned based on your steps for the day and sends that number to MFP as exercise.

    Also, MFP plugged in some formula to take that number and generate an expected activity level for the day that it applies to your calorie goal. This skews the calorie goal and you have to actually manually turn that feature off.
