FitBit Question

I was wondering if I have my Fitbit synced to MFP to track my steps, do I need to add the calories burned when I do a workout. I use my Fitbit to track how many calories I burn while I do a workout. Does that get added to your calories burned from the walking or not? I don't want to be over adding cmy calories burned.
Thanks!

    Hi, fitbit will include your overall caloric burn for the day, including from exercise, so it isn't necessary to log it on the mfp app.

    Just so you know, your workouts won't show up separately. MFP imports all of your activity, steps and exercise, as one lump sum.
