Hi everyone
I did some searching through the message boards and I haven't found my answer to my question. I have a Vivofit that logs my steps into MFP tracker, I was wonder if I go for a 3 mile walk do I log this as exercise or should I just let my Vivofit track the steps as part of my normal steps for the day ?

I hope this makes sense

Thanks

    I have read and reread the calorie adjustment from the vivofit as it appears in MFP, and it is still very confusing. Hopefully someone has an answer.

    Mine logs it itself if I go over my goal.

    My vivofit does add my steps into my exercise tracker, but should I log the walk as a separate activity or just let the vivofit track the steps from it and not log it as an exercise ?

    I don't want to double dip on activity and I dont eat them so Im not concerned about that.

    yea it does it for you so you would be double logging, if I am reading your post correctly.

    I have a garmin too. Mine logs my steps. If I walk, I don't log it again on mfp but if I did any jogging or running then I add that even though they are still steps
