I have a question for all of you who uses Fitbit/HRM..

I have a Fitbit one right now and I'm thinking on buying a HRM to get a more accurate reading of my calories burned while I workout.. I'm really happy with how the Fitbit is been working for me.. I never thought I would've been burning so many calories on a regular day without working out at all.. but I want to get started at the gym and I want an accurate reading of calories burned while working out.. sooo.. the question is.. how do I keep MFP from getting double entries when the fitbit syncs with MFP and how do I log the readings of the HRM.. should I take off the Fitbit while working out at the gym..???

Please help.. I hope I explain myself clearly.. It's kinda complicated..

    What do you plan on doing at the gym? If it's running on a treadmill or taking an aerobics class, I'd just use the Fitbit. For anything else, I'd take the Fitbit off and log the activity.

    (For the record, a HRM won't give you 'an accurate reading of calories burned', but its estimate might be better than the Fitbit's.)
