Sorry, I couldn't find the answer so I'm posting. Why are my steps only being tracked (thru FitBit) but not included in my cals in/out stats. I usually meet my 10,000 steps per day goal. Does that not count as exercise? Would I have to log it myself?

Looks like it captured the actual exercise I did.... but not the 10,000 steps as well.....0

Do I need to input the cals burned for 10,000 steps? It only counted my 34 minute workout... but I did both.....0

What activity level did you select on MFP? Each activity level has a certain amount of expected steps. For example, I have the lowest selected (not very active /sedentary). My first 3000 steps or so don't add any calories for exercise, after that I start getting some added. Around 10,000 steps, it adds about 250 calories.2

If you are also doing other exercise then they can cancel themselves out. Also on your settings do you have it to take negative readings.1
