DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FITBIT WORKS ON HERE

How do I put my steps in here? Should I just manually enter everything? All I see is a minus sign and then a number. Don't understand at all. It is easy with Sparkpeople.

    If you have your accounts connected, everything will transfer over to MFP. The negative number is there because MFP estimates that you aren't going to move enough to meet what they believe is maintenance, so it subtracts calories to ensure you don't overeat. Once you start moving, that adjustment will turn positive as you sync your Fitbit.

    But where does it show my minutes or steps or whatever?

    Depending on what you are using, this is from my Iphone app. I enter my exercise here on MFP and it syncs with Fitbit to reflect on that app as well. It can take some time to adjust to the different views from the apps and webpages etc.

    On the Web version navigate to REPORTS > Charts and Reports, click the down arrow and choose Fitbit steps.
    On the mobile app navigate to Progress, click the down arrow and choose Fitbit steps.
