Fitbit Exercise Logging

The fitbit automatically logs my walks, aerobics, and elliptical time, but it does not transfer over to MFP (just steps and calories). Isn't it supposed to? If I add them in MFP manually, I have to go in and delete out the duplicate that it sends to my FitBit app, which is highly annoying. That also puts it counting the calories lost twice (I think). Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way of things?

    Syncing MFP and Fitbit won't log your actual exercises into MFP, just the steps and calories. If you log them on MFP, you would be counting the calories twice.

    If you want them to show up on MFP and not count the calories double, you can also add them manually and then adjust the calorie burn to 1 calorie. That way they would show up on your MFP account.

    I thought that might be the case. Thank you for confirming!
