Can someone explain to me where I'm supposed to see my exercise from Fitbit?

The only thing it's picking up is my steps from my iPhone. I am totally confused

    Did you add your Fitbit to sync it to MFP? If not, you need to do that via the "Apps" tab, then the "Steps" sub-tab.
    It will then be added as a cardiovascular exercise titled "Fitbit calorie adjustment"

    If it adjusted anything it'll be here. If it hasn't, and you have linked it... it might be because because you haven't burned enough calories yet. You can see what apps are linked at: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps on the right side of the page under "my apps"

    ETA: it doesn't show specific exercises if that's what you're looking for - you can add that to your exercise diary and fitbit will adjust the calories burned so it doesn't give you double. Otherwise you just get the 1 entry with N/A for time and number of calories.

    Okay it was linked but I went under steps and changed it from iOS to Fitbit. So it's now tracking calories via steps but not by calories burned by exercise. Is that normal?

    Okay it's now showing under exercise at the top. That must have been it. Weird

    That's normal, if you log in on a computer it shows based off activity, but my fitbit says steps too in the app.

    ::Fitbit Calorie Adjustment

    You're using Fitbit to measure your actual activity level throughout the day.

    To accurately reflect any extra calories you're burning, we use this data to adjust your daily MyFitnessPal calorie goal.

    This is how we calculate your calorie adjustment:

    Fitbit Calories Burned
    Full Day Projection
    (Based on 1289 calories burned as of 1:29 pm) 2111
    MyFitnessPal Calories Burned
    1876

    Fitbit Calorie Adjustment
    235
