I have had a Fitbit for several months and love it, but decided to get a HRM also. My question is what do I use to record my exercise? Do I wear my Fitbit when I workout? Do I enter my workout just with the HRM or enter it as exercise also? Please help???

    I would go with what the HRM tells you. The fitbit will track your distance, etc and estimates your work load, but the heart rate monitor gives a more accurate account of how hard you're working.

    I have an HRM that I wear every time I exercise. It is much more accurate in letting you know how many calories you have burned.

    I wear my FitBit and my HRM while I work out. I then enter the calories burned/time started/duration (as per my HRM) in MFP. That will override the calorie adjustment from FitBit. Hope that helps.

    Edited for clarity.
