Activity in Log

Was just looking at the log part of the dashboard. It shows my steps in the top part, but not in the history below. Is there something I'm not doing? (Besides not walking enough)

Don't enter your exercise in MFP. Enter it in FitBit. Calisthenics and Squats don't have any steps and even if they did, MFP doesn't count them. The data from MFP overwrites FitBit's data giving you the calories you've indicated, but no steps.0

I see it now. I didn't understand it was simply reporting what I entered into MFP as opposed to cumulative activity from both sources. Thanks0

Also, all steps isn't a workout. Majority are probably daily life.
And even steps in a workout don't need to be logged as a workout.
And no manually logged workouts except walking and jogging contain steps, or those workouts that sync over from anything.
If you are curious how many steps happened to occur during a block of time, you'd need to either start an activity record on your device with the button push, or manually create an activity record in your account.
That record allows you to view the stats during that block of time, instead of buried in the daily data.
Now, if you create the record after logging or syncing in the workout, the calorie burn will be the adjusted amount, not what Fitbit originally estimated.
And that report does show ALL workouts - you just don't happen to have anything in Fitbit directly yet to view.0
