So I have a fitbit and have it sync'd with mfp. I realize fitbit tracks my steps through the day. My question if I run 5 miles should I track the activity on MFP or will fitbit take care of it? Also, if I am sync'd to runkeeper will that double or triple my exercise time?
I always post food only to MFP.
Thanks,

Not sure about Runkeeper but Fitbit will send MFP the calorie adjustment from your entire day of activity including your run, so it's covered.0

So I don't track the run/walk on either but I would bike and swim? IF so, do I track the exercise on MFP or fitbit? Is the best place to track food on MFP?0
