I'm sure this has been debated and I just can't find the thread. Do you track your exercise using the Fitbit app and syncing it to MFP or do you log your exercise in MFP directly?
There seems to be a difference.
Thank you.

I let my fitbit sync everything to mfp. One of the main reasons i bought a fitbit was so i didn't have to manually log anything here. It's set and forget, plus I'm assuming my fitbit is a tad more accurate then mfp.1

Log all exercise in Fitbit, log all food in MFP. For exercise that your Fitbit can track, it should be more accurate. For exercise that your Fitbit can't track (for example: swimming, weight lifting) the algorithm that Fitbit uses is thought to be more accurate than the one that MFP uses.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend reading the FAQ found in the stickies. Here's a handy link: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10098937/faq-syncing-logging-food-exercise-calorie-adjustments-activity-levels-accuracy/p11 -
