my iPhone counts my steps each day. So, is it better not to track my actual exercise--treadmill, etc on my phone as well?

    If you recorded both it would be a double entry, I'd recommend only recording steps on the pedometer separately from exercise done on the treadmill. Be careful with eating back exercise calories from cardio equipment. My personal preference is to work at my target heart rate (to ensure I'm working at appropriate intensity for me) then take the MFP calorie estimate for calories burnt and reduce by 25%.

    To each their own, consistency is the key.
