Should you sync step counter to MFP once you chose your activity level on MFP?

I currently have my step counter synced to mfp but I just switched from sedentary to lightly active as my activity level and I know mfp includes everything that is non-exercise. Should I still have my step counter synced to mfp or remove it or it doesn't matter?

    MFP will take care of that for you and is not likely to double count. It will start giving you fewer calories to eat back because you increased your activity level. I personally like keeping it at sedentary and letting my steps decide how much I eat that day. One note is that if your allowance is higher than 1200 (it's actually better if you have it higher than 1200) you might want negative adjustment turned on in case you have days where you're not as active as usual.

    Turn on negative adjustments and you should be good to go.
