in Getting Started
-I use Runtastic to map my runs, and those auto-sync to MFP
-Logging everything on MFP
-Tracking step on Fitbit and auto-syncing to MFP, even enabled Negative Ajustments.

My question- When I log a run, I earn calories. But my Fitbit recorded all those steps from my run, and I earn calories...again.
-Am I doubling up on calories?

My only solution was to take off my Fitbit when I'm recording a run, otherwise, I always have it on. Any insights on this, anybody???

    If you log a run with the time you worked out on MFP, it's not supposed to double up, just be aware and record it for later review and statistics for you.

    At least that's how it's supposed to work... that's how it looks for me and my fitbit.

    If they're both sending info to MFP, then you might be doubling up. I don't know how fitbit works, but I've heard that if you want to record a workout on MFP but not get calories for it, you can enter the workout manually and change the calorues to 1. So, you could unsync Runtastic from MFP and let fitbit give you calories.

    Edit because I don't know what I'm talking about.
