How do you all utilize your Fitbit on MFP? Do you just subtract your basal metabolic rate and count all extra calories as "exercise"?

    If you have them linked it will do the math for you. Once you earn calories over and above what MFP already assumes you will burn during the day it will start giving you exercise calories. If you have the negative calorie adjustment on (optional ) and you have a particularly sloth like day it will take away calories.

    I thought I remember reading you are supposed to only use MFP for logging food or something? Steps and everything else go through fitbit and Aria... Correct?
